in thread Crypt::IDEA & Cygwin woes

I guess that when I install cygwin I did not install the
package that contains patch ... so I don't have patch.
Do you know what package I need to install? :)
Or where I can find patch?

    It seems to be a separate package called simply called patch

    (This note originally erroneously said it was in diffutils.. apologies for rewriting history, next time I'll use an "Update:" addendum)

      Ironically, it's in the "patch" package.

      Also, while I was looking where cygwin installed it I noticed that the original author of patch is --- none other than Larry Wall! News to me...

      Update: When I originally wrote this node, xmath's node said patch was in diffutils. Somewhere between my replying and my submitting, xmath found it in the patch package and updated the node.
