Subject:	patches and g77

I downloaded g77 some time ago and am interested in setting it up in my
djgpp environment (assuming I can do so). 
I'm a total novice at patching, I don't understand how it works at all, so
I'm wondering how to go about applying this patch that g77 wants me to apply
to my gcc-2.6.3 distribution that I have under DOS.  It gives an example,
but it's obviously for a UNIX environment.

Specifically in the readme it says to apply the patch by typing something like:

"patch -p1 -d gcc-2.6.3 < gcc-2.6.3/f/gbe/2.6.3.diff"

Is there an equivalent incantation for the DOS/Windoze environment?
What files is it working on?  Or does it work on the executable?

Thanks for any help,
Skip Egley
