I've just been merging all the changes that people have sent
me to msged.  I got three different people sending me stuff,
and I was hoping that CVS would work when the time came, and
IT DID!!!

People, CVS, RCS, PATCH and DIFF are absolutely brilliant, and
I recommend everyone take the time to investigate this.  I can
answer the questions you need to get running with it.  I use
all this stuff under OS/2, and thus can answer questions on it,
and I can guess at the DOS, but someone will have to try out
DOS for themselves to see if it works in practice.  Actually,
I tried out RCS under DOS, so I know that works.  Under Windows
even!  Here is an excerpt from the READ.ME in the upcoming
MSGED/SQ 3.35...

By the way, the best way to send me changes is by using a utility
called "DIFF".  This is a "standard unix" command which is
available for OS/2, and I presume also DOS, if you look for a
port of RCS.  I actually use RCS and CVS.  I know all of this
stuff is available for OS/2, and I think it is also available for
DOS.  The stuff is available for FREQ from 3:711/934.  Anyway,
if you have changed say msged.c, then you can go:
diff --context \old\msged.c \new\msged.c and get just a list of
changes that you have made.  I prefer to get all the differences
in one file, so that I can feed it directly into another program,
called "PATCH", which is also available from here.  I can then
check all this stuff in to CVS, and apply the differences to my
own version.  I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that anyone who does any
serious programming should get these tools.  They are all free.
