If you install WinCVS you get a patch.exe you can use. Often you have to tweak the command line parameters a bit (especially -p) and sometimes you have to edit the patch file itself. It's best if you put the directory with patch.exe in your PATH so you can easily call it from the right directory (relative paths and all).
With WinCVS's patch.exe (normally): patch -p 0 < filename.dif Note before applying the patch file check how it references the files as you need to be in the correct directory to apply the patch file. If you're using Eclipse as IDE you can use the patcher from there. It's pretty easy there. Good luck!
