how to use the patch

[Tonyt8]

Hi Michael,

I would like to try your koken patch. Thanks for supplying it.
How do I use it?

Thanks,
Regards, Tony

Normally to apply the patch you only need to

git apply /path/to/some-changes.patch

But that probably does not work due to different source files than me.

The best you can do is therefore to download a diff/patch viewer and open the patch file in it. It's important to get one who can ignore space/tab changes.

Or you can do it manually (the patch file is a human-readable text file after all).
Each file change starts with this intro. It's nicely explained in this article.
