Quiet simple: a tool named patch understand all kind of diff output
(simple diff, diff -e, or [you mean] diff -c, the context diff).

So, there's a problem. Since i had holidays, i'm not up-to-date, and still
running 0.0. Thus i don't know which lpt driver they included. But i posted
one some weeks ago (which is okay on my 0.0), and since my name is included
in the contributors' list, i guess, it could be my lpt driver.
So try to be more detailed, and e-mail your report to me. I'll see what
to do. Furthermore, i hope to upgrade to 0.1 as soon as possible. Please,
refer only to the address in the signature (it's different from the sender
address of this posting since i'm modem-logged-in here only).
enjoy, J"org
