Greetings,

	What command line options must I give to diff if I am to submit
patches to programs in the djgpp distribution? 

For example if "distfile" is the distributed file and "newfile" is the
file that I have incorporated the changes in, what order and with what
options must they appear on the diff command line. 

And conversely, how should patch be used to obtain newfile from distfile. 

Many thanks.
Gurunandan
