How to patch?

[Justin the Blue]

  A somewhat unique problem has cropped up here at the public access machines
  at Oregon State University. 

  We are a group of people who are learning how to compile utilities for
  general system use.  One of the things we are unfamiliar with is how to
  implement patches.  There are many things that we want to do, however,
  that involve patches.

  Here's an example...a personal use I'd like to do.  I know of places where
  the source for the game Ularn is availible.  In perusing the shell archives,
  at one time I noted three patches: two to correct defciencies in the code,
  and a third (the one I want most for) that converts it to an MSDOS execut-
  able program.  How would I implement the patches?  I'm fairly clear on
  running the compiler and getting through the bugs in the Makefile.

  Since this may be a bit too "beginner" for this group, I think email
  to kleinj at jacobs.cs.orst.edu would be most appropriate.  I didn't think
  it was basic enuff for news.newusers.questions, tho'...

  advTHANKSance,
