After >"umount /tmp" patch works fine. Is it a bug in my brain?-) You are probably using patch on some other drive than c:? Patch prepares the new file in /tmp and tries to rename it to the active directory. Rename fails if the source and destination are on different filesystems. You shouldn't mount /tmp, just have one in the root of every physical drive. If you are using patch on c:, the previous doesn't apply and your problem is in something else. -eero - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
