Here is the output I get from "patch -i patchfile.diff":

can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|Index: run/JvGrids.pas
|===================================================================
|--- run/JvGrids.pas (r├®vision 10887)
|+++ run/JvGrids.pas (r├®vision 10898)
--------------------------
File to patch:
Skip this patch? [y]
Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored

And the "patch --version" call gives this:

patch 2.5

This is the patch.exe from the UnxUtils package, under windows. I also
tried with the one from MinGW, same result. I also tried with the -n
option, it complains that there is only garbage in the file.

Thanks for any pointers

Olivier
