- Patch v1.0
- December 25, 1989
- (OK, so what else do you do on Christmas?)
-
- This is PATCH, a Unix program which, when given a list of differences
- between an old version and a new version (in Unix "diff -c" format) will
- patch source code (old version) to be the same as the new version. This is
- first release of Amiga version 1.0. It seems to test OK.
-
- Read the file "patch.man" for Larry Wall's documentation.

-
- Known bugs: Does Choke'n'puke on Really Big Changes (>50K), due
- to Manx's heapmem.o limitations.

- NOTE: This software is copyrighted by Larry Wall, with the exception of my
- "chdir" routine which is in the public domain. All my changes become
- property of Larry Wall by provision of copyright law. If you wish to
- discuss legal aspects of use or distribution of this software, talk to
- Larry.
-
- NOTE 2: This is NOT shareware. It's Larry's program, and even if it wasn't,
- the port was far too trivial to charge money for.
-
- NOTE 3: This software is compiled with the Manx "C" compiler. I
- thought of porting it to Lattice "C", but given that the sole attempt
- ended up in a bigger file with no real speed advantage, I decided
- it wasn't worth it.
-
- Changes, version 0.90 to 0.91: added "chdir" routine, re-enabled
- that particular option of patch. Does it work? HowdoIknow?
-
- Changes, version 0.91 to version 1.0: Fixed "chdir" routine,
- fixed choke'n'puke when a new file has been added to the
- distribution, put in my own amystat instead of using Manx one,
- re-wrote makedirs() to be interative instead of recursive.
