Hi Roy,
Normally, the command is
patch -p0 < filename.diff
Make sure you are cd'd into the source directory before running that.
The number after the -p option identifies the number of directories to
strip off the filenames in the diff file (in this case zero). If you
get a bunch of horrible errors after running that, you might need "-p1"
or something. Often there will be instructions with the diff file
specifying this if necessary.
Hope this helps,
Jeremy
