If you are installing the binary distribution, and you have never
used `patch' 2.4 or later, please read the docs (`info/patch.1' is
the man page) and the file NEWS, since this version has A LOT of
changes, including some in the default behavior.  If you fail to
read these docs, you WILL be surprised!

For those who already have version 2.4, the main change in this
version is the support for RFC 934 encapsulation of lines which
begin with a dash `-', and the fact that version control style no
longer affects whether backup files are made.

The source distribution is already configured for DJGPP, so to
compile just say "make".

To reconfigure `patch' for DJGPP, issue these commands from the
`patch' source directory:

	pc\djgpp\configure
	make

To build `patch' in a directory other than where the sources are,
add a parameter that specifies the source directory, e.g.:

    e:\gnu\patch-2.5\pc\djgpp\configure e:/gnu/patch-2.5

You MUST use forward slashes to specify the source directory.

Running configure.bat requires a port of `sed'.
You can find one on the usual DJGPP archive sites.

If your library is stock v2.01, you will need a patched
version of the library function `pathconf' to have `patch'
support numbered backups on Windows 9x.  The patched source
is supplied in the pc/djgpp subdirectory; compile it and put
it into your library before building `patch', like so:

		gcc -c -O3 pathconf.c
		ar rvs c:/djgpp/lib/libc.a pathconf.o
