      No. Learn to read , follow instructions, copy/paste -- you can't possibly be this clueless

    Actually, you can say that I am clueless. And that is the reason why I had earlier mentioned that i don't quite get the relevance of this solution to my problem.

    I am not able to understand the syntax/usage of patch; I am not able to find any help docs on the patch/gnuwin32 website either.

    So, I am not sure what exactly I am doing wrong.

    From the snippet you had shown, it looked like the patch utility was trying to patch in the diff between the new version of UMMF into the older version of the same. But i have doubts around that - if we have a new version of UMMF, then hwy not just use it? Why should we patch in the diff into the older version?

    please help.

      You're not reading closely, and you're not copy/paste-ing

      cd UMMF-1.02
      patch -p1 < path/to/patchfile
      

      we have .. should we ...

      Have you self-replicated? How'd you do that!?
