Re^4: How to apply a patch on Windows?

Why exactly?

Because without a clue about what I'm meant to be looking for, in that volume of very similar looking lines, it is really hard to pick out the significant bit, -p0 .v. -p1, before my eyes glaze over.

So mnooning needs to change ...

Now that I follow. Succinct, clear and to the point.

Thankyou. I learnt two things.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Yes, the "lesson" was very opaque. Thanks for the help. I had tried different variations, except -p1. I wound up doing it by hand. The patch itself introduces an extra opening brace, so it is a bad patch. Thanks	[reply]
