They're not too bad, the only problem is with a patch like mine where there are only changed lines (as opposed to added/removed) so it is less obvious which lines are new and which are old. You could always write a quick script to colourise diffs to make it clearer. I use an awk script as a filter before my pager when I use mush which colourises e-mails. > But it still looks this patch replaces two or more of the previous > _man patches. Which ones? It was intended to replace your original patch and as a result render those which followed irrelevant. This is why I also included your typo fix - so that people wouldn't have to apply half of your patch. Oliver Kiddle
