Under Linux there is a patch tool called "patch". Try man patch for how to use it. Cheers, Guenter

Can't help you with the patch, but you should try posting your question to comp.soft-sys.octave. -- % Randy Yates % "...the answer lies within your soul %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % 'cause no one knows which side %%% 919-577-9882 % the coin will fall." %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % 'Big Wheels', *Out of the Blue*, ELO http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr

hi all,
          i am kind of new to software patching. i was looking for a
fix for the "load .oct file" problem in octave 2.9.12 and stumbled
across the below patch. figured out that i had to do a diff -u -u "old
file" "new file"  but can somebody guide me through the process.
thanks for the help in advance.
          maverick.
