 Tips for Patch Consumers
 ========================
 
    A patch producer should tell recipients how to apply the patches, so
 the first rule of thumb for a patch consumer is to follow the
 instructions supplied with the patch.
 
    GNU `diff' can analyze files with arbitrarily long lines and files
 that end in incomplete lines.  However, older versions of `patch'
 cannot patch such files.  If you are having trouble applying such
 patches, try upgrading to a recent version of GNU `patch'.
