Here is what you should do to submit patches now that you have cygwin installed. Make a copy of the source tree. Lets call it "aspell-orig" (any name is fine). Make your changes to exiting source tree, lets call it "aspell-new". Than check that it will compile. Now using Cygwin issue the command: diff -ubwrN aspell-orig aspell-new > aspell.diff The -bw means to ignore white space a blank line changes The -r means to recurse on the entire directory The -N means to include new files. You can find a manual of GNU diff online at http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/diff.html. Than if necessary manually remove the changes you didn't want to include. If you do try to apply the patch to make sure it is still valid. This will create a diff that I can simply apply to my source tree and try out. If this is two much trouble please let me know. -- http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
