This is a port of Larry Wall's PATCH util to the Atari ST.
Basically, everything here works as described in Larry's README file,
except for the configuration stuff, which should be completely
ignored, as it's very Eunuchs specific, and we don't do that on the ST.
The configuration that's there was put together by hand by jrd. Feel
free to mung with it if you want; it's fairly obvious from the code
what all the settings do.
Basically, you use this thing as "patch file patchfile". "patchfile"
is assumed to be the pathname of a file of patches, ie output from
DIFF. PATCH is pretty bright; it will work with several kinds of DIFF
output, and seems to be pretty careful when applying a patch section;
at least I've never seen it guess wrong about what to do. There are a
variety of options, but I won't go into them here, as they're
described in the doc.
This version was compiled with GCC 1.23.
