Hi,
thanks for all your help on that issue. We got the patch working
now.
First, Corrina's suggestion of forgetting the 'type' works, but
the patch is part of a makefile which should work for unix platforms
as well (openoffice.org) and the type command is needed there for
reasons I don't know right now ( = I don't build the unix stuff).
Then, it makes no difference whether I use the newest latest cygwin
or the old one (which we need to compile openoffice.org properly
from the 4nt shell using cygwin tools).
Last but not least, the line-ends. The solution to make the patch
working is
type patch-file-name | tr -d "\015"| patch -b -p2
