Patch is a very useful tool that will take a file containing differences
between two versions of a file and update your version of the file.

On your directory machine make a unix directory (probably under
/u1/home/isode) called 'patch'.

The source code for the patch is available from UCL via FTAM/NIFTP.
Recover the file patch.shar from the 'src' directory, and place it in the
newly created 'patch' directory.
Type
	sh patch
which will unpack various files.

To compile/install patch...

First of all you need to run the Configure script (by typing 'Configure').
It asks a lot of questions about your system; pressing return 
in answer to all of them seems to do the right thing.
Then type 'make'.
'su' to root and type 'make inst-all'

Patch should now be installed.


To apply a patch, move into the isode-6.0 directory (or whatever version we
have got up to).

Copy the patch - this can be the original mail message, as patch knows to
skip over all the headers - into a file called latest.fix or similar.
Type
	patch -p < latest.fix

Then re-make and install Quipu...
	./make all-quipu
	su
	./make inst-quipu
