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?
