Instructions for applying patches

• In the table, click the link for the desired Changeset.

• On the bottom of the Changeset page, click on "Download in other formats: Unified Diff".

• Open a command prompt window using your operating system. Enter these two commands, replacing directory with the path to directory from the table, download-path with the path to your download directory, and # with the changeset number:

cd directory

patch <download-path/changeset_r#.diff

Note the "<" before the location of the download-path. It is really important.
