-This version of `patch' has many changes made by the Free Software Foundation.
-They add support for:
- * handling arbitrary binary data and large files
- * the unified context diff format that GNU diff can produce
- * making GNU Emacs-style backup files
- * improved interaction with RCS and SCCS
- * the GNU conventions for option parsing and configuring and compilation.
- * better POSIX.2 compliance
-They also fix some bugs. See the NEWS and ChangeLog files for details.
-
-Tutorial-style documentation for patch is included in the GNU
-diffutils package. Unfortunately, the diffutils 2.7 documentation
-for `patch' is obsolete; this should be fixed in diffutils 2.8.
-In the mean time, see `patch --help', or consult the man page
-in this distribution.
-
-For GNU and Unix build and installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
-For MS-DOS using DJGPP tools, see the file pc/djgpp/README.
-For other systems, copy config.hin to config.h and change
-#undef statements in it to #define as appropriate for your system,
-and copy Makefile.in to Makefile and set the variables that are
-enclosed in @ signs as appropriate for your system.
-
-Please send bug reports for this version of patch to
-bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.

-The Free Software Foundation is distributing this version of patch
-independently because as of this writing, Larry Wall has not released a
-new version of patch since mid-1988. We have heard that he has been
-too busy working on other things, like Perl. He has graciously agreed
-to let GNU `patch' be distributed under the terms of the GNU General
-Public License.
