Patches

To create a patch, first make sure you have a full tree of both the
original and the modified trees (herin called "gatos-orig" and
"gatos-new" respectively).

Make sure each tree is clean by using:

->

make distclean

in EACH directory. Then change to the directory immediately above these two directories and use the following command:

->

diff -ur gatos-orig gatos-new > gatos-new-patch

Look at gatos-new-patch (with a text editor or viewer) and make sure nothing is changed that you didn't intend to be. You can submit this patch to me either included in an e-mail, or as a MIME attachment, or you can compress it and send it as a MIME attachment, as follows:

Compress it with:

->

gzip -9 gatos-new-patch

Then send gatos-new-patch.gz to me as a MIME attachment.

If there is a problem with the patch, or I have a question or the patch/description is not understood, you will get a reply, so make sure your message is properly reply-able.
