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
