- Patch v0.91
- -----------
- July 20, 1989
-
- I looked on PLINK, GENIE, and local BBS's, but could not find a version of
- Patch that ran on the Amiga. It may have already been done. If not, it only
- took a weekend to port it, so what the heck?
-
- This is PATCH, a Unix program which, when given a list of differences
- between an old version and a new version (in Unix "diff" format) will patch
- source code (old version) to be the same as the new version. This is an
- alpha test release of Amiga version .90. I have tested it rudimentarily (by
- using patch to patch itself up to patchlevel 12), but it is by no means
- completely tested.
-
- Problem reports: Voice: 318-984-1820 Bix: egreen. I have a PLINK account
- under the name "elg" which is rarely used. If you want to contact me about
- problems with this software, the best thing to do would be to call, send
- Bix mail, or send US Mail to

- 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: As I mentioned, I have applied 12 released patches to this
- software. If Larry has released further patches, I'd appreciate knowing
- about them, so I can bring AmigaPatch up to snuff with Larry's changes.
-
- NOTE 3: 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.
-
- Known bugs: When trying to patch a file which does not exist, e.g. a new
- file has been added to the distribution, AmigaPatch does the choke'n'puke.
-
- Read the file "patch.man" for Larry Wall's documentation. I compiled this
- with Manx. I don't know how it'd do under Lettuce, since I don't have it
- (yet -- 10-20% code size improvements look tempting, sigh, if only I wasn't
- a poor college student...).
-
- Changes, version 0.90 to 0.91: added "chdir" routine, re-enabled
- that particular option of patch. Does it work? HowdoIknow?
