While looking for Gabriele's cookies patch, I stumbled upon this long forgotten message...
According to Emma Jane Hogbin: > I've figured out all the language problems I was having (I think). > Unfortunately I can't get the cookies patch to install properly on the > "live" machine--dev machine has the patch but not the language files.

(Note to Joe: it might make more sense to call it cookies.0.gz instead of cookies.gz.0.) Generally for a patch, you put yourself in the main souce directory and then run a command like "patch -p0 < name-of-patch-file", or use -p1 if the patch has an extra level of directory names in the target file names. In the case of a compressed patch like this one, you can use: zcat cookies.gz.0 | patch -p0 I don't recall seeing a followup to your questions before, but you haven't repeated the request, so my apologies if it's now a moot point. -- Gilles R.
