This distribution contains an "Amigaized" version of the patch program
which is commonly used for applying updates to source files which were
distributed in the form of "diff" (a Unix utility) output files.
Even though "diff" is not available for the amiga, many people doing
software development on the amiga also have access to and use Unix.
Having a version of patch which runs on the amiga will allow these people
to distribute fixes/enhancements in the form of "diff" output without
causing inconvenience to recipients who do not have access to Unix.
All features of patch are retained in the Amiga version except for the
ability to handle the "ed script" form of "diff" output.
Both a source file and a uuencoded binary of patch have been included.
All changes made to the source file for portability to the Amiga were made
using a "#ifdef AMIGA" conditional. Therfore the same source may be used
for creating both Amiga and Unix versions of patch. Lattice C, version 4,
was used to compile the included binary. The file "Makefile.amiga" is a
copy of the Makefile I used for creating the Amiga binary and it includes
all of the compiler and linker options used.
