Reply-To:	J DOT P DOT Fletcher AT aston DOT ac DOT uk

I used the patch utility and got into some difficulty when it failed.
It adds a # to the end of MSDOS filenames even when they are already
on their character limit

e.g xyz.trm gives a new file xyz.trm#

Under MSDOS this is truncated to the same as the original file and
the work done so far is lost.

Is the source of this utility available (It seemed to be the only one
which wasn't) so that this could be sorted.

Cheers

John
