Hi Tom,

as you asked on the list, I will reply on the list as well:

---- snip ----
> patch --help
Usage: patch [OPTION]... [ORIGFILE [PATCHFILE]]

Input options:

   -p NUM  --strip=NUM  Strip NUM leading components from file names.
   -F LINES  --fuzz LINES  Set the fuzz factor to LINES for inexact matching.
   -l  --ignore-whitespace  Ignore white space changes between patch and 
input.
---- snap ---

Reading the first 10 lines of the patch help would have solved
the problem. In addition, if you have patches for previous mem
versions, then why didn't you submit those patches for inclusion
in the normal mem? Is there a mem "1.6 plus Tom"? Then why not
make mem 1.11 include the Tom features? You cannot compare mem
1.9 and newer to older versions anyway. David added zillions of
features and even 1.7 already has lots of changes - it is the
first translateable version as far as I remember.

Another point which is indeed bad style is that I have split
mem.c into mem.c and mem2.c - you can merge them again with very
little editing, but it would have been a lot better to split the
file properly / cleanly. For now, mem.c simply ends with a line
#include "mem2.c", and the makefile is unchanged ;-).

Eric
