:-) I wish I would, I have probably misconfigured news reader on
the other machine, when I posted to the groop it returned back
complaining about illegal header. I'm curious if this will go ok.

This is actually and interesting experiment. I generated the diff
sucessfuly. I'm not sure if it means that the problem is not on
the server. The patch can be applied with some (about 20) rejects.
Unfortunately this is not usable way in general. There were about
20,000 deletes and additions in the diff. To add and remove all
the files manually would kill me. I'll rather try to debug the
error or try to do it other way round: figure out the chagnes
we did and create patch from them ... and then just to kill our
trunk version and use vendor version with our patch ... it
should be less work this way.
Peter.
