Hi,,

I'm just wondering how you are supposed to apply these CVS Diff patches to dosbox. Is there some sort of tool you use to do it?

Thanks,
Jason

decompress cvs in a directory;
put patch.exe from unxutils and the .diff into that dir
run:
patch -p0 <filename.diff
where filename is your patch

i tried that but when i entered that cmd line, nothing happened...it just went to the next line, but did nothing. Pressing enter only brings me to the next blank line

Sounds like something is wrong with the <filename.diff part that is causing it to get input from the console (keyboard) instead of the filename.diff file.

thanks for your help. So all i need would be the patch.exe and the diff file?
