[DGD]Compiling/Patches

[Chris Kaczor]

Speaking of patching - I should probably play with this more, but I'll ask
while we are on this topic.

Does anyone know of a win32 port of the patch program?

When last I tried I was able to get the code compiling using Microsoft
Visual C++ but I couldn't manage to patch the source.  I had tried a win32
port that I downloaded from somewhere and it wasn't happy with the format of
the patch file.

Any advice on this would be appreciated.  =)
