cool beans i can help on one!
a + means add the line
a - means nuke that line
a ! means append to that line
usually with ! youll have a line like
int burp;
! sprint("burp %d", burp);
----------------------------
int burp;
! sprintf("burp loudly %d", burp);
which means you take the ! Crap in the bottem part (below the line) and
replace it with the ! in the upper part
hope i helped.
also another thing that helps with patch is to send output to a file in
case of rejections (or check *.rej)
patch < patch.this.patch 2> output.txt > anythingelse.txt
I had to patch oasisOLC by hand and that helped a ton
