Thank you very much Sam!

I neglected to mention this is on a linux mandrake 7.2 installation with
qmail + vpopmail + sqwebmail on a PII 266 with 128 megs of ram if that
helps/matters.

I hate to be a total idiot but unfortunately I think I might be.  From what
I remembered and from man patch I tried the following:

[root@mail qmail]# rm -rf sqwebmail-1.2.5/
[root@mail qmail]# tar zxvf sqwebmail-1.2.5.tar.gz
[root@mail qmail]# cp sqwebmail.patch sqwebmail-1.2.5/sqwebmail.patch
[root@mail qmail]# cd sqwebmail-1.2.5
[root@mail sqwebmail-1.2.5]# patch sqwebmail.patch

It just hangs forever (30 minutes? how long should I wait?) at

[root@mail sqwebmail-1.2.5]# ps waux | grep patch
root      2369  0.0  0.3  1120  420 pts/0    S    18:25   0:00 patch
sqwebmail.patch

[root@mail sqwebmail-1.2.5]# ls -la sqwebmail.patch
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          513 Mar 12 18:24 sqwebmail.patch

If anyone sees this, could you please show me what I should have done?

I do not think I corrupted the file format when I named it to
sqwebmail.patch but the one thing I did notice was this line:

RCS file: /cvsroot/courier/courier/webmail/newmsg_newdraft.c,v

Should I change the patch file at all or use a different one for use with
qmail?  Did I use the patch command incorrectly?  I thought (hoped) that on
this linux-mandrake 7.2 machine that patch will just ignore that RCS line.

By the way this entire setup will be eventually moving to the new OpenBSD
machines I recently built so maybe someone has some tips for me when this
qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail is all there and actually working, if anyone has
any tips please write back.


Thanks again

Rick Up
