I ran into a problem where multiple patch files contain the<br>
same source code with different versions/dates.<br>
<br>
So now my patch installation program does date checking on<br>
the source files before installation. Conflicts (older file attempting to overwrite new version) are noted as conflicting and resolved by hand.<br>
<br>
I got a version of UNZIP for Alpha-VMS so that I could maintain the same timestamp as when the files where put in the .zip.<br>
<br>
With unzip, there is an option -aa (Treat files as text), and this seems to resolve the line feed/carriage return problems between Unix and VMS.<br>
