Thanks--I couldn't find the patch.exe in WinCVS (using
1.3 beta, and not their 1.2 version.)  I downloaded a
GPL port to Windows from here:
http://www.circlemud.org/maillist/1998-01/0083.html.

The version I downloaded works, only issue is that I
need to save the file-to-be-revised into Unix format
first (/r/n->/n) before applying the patch.

Thanks,
Glen
