Hi,
Many ways...
cat patch.file | patch -p0
patch -p0 < patch.file
etc
You might want -p0 or -p1 depending on the patch type. You might or might not want to be in the same directory as the original files depending on the patch type.
Usually looking at the first few lines of the patch will let you know.
