Hello!

I wish that would help, but I see no improvements.

--- my dialogue begin ---
$ patch --ignore-whitespace -p1 -i US-GB.nohtml.diff
can't find file to patch at input line 2
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -b -B --exclude='*.*htm*' -r en-US/.jar/autoconfig/contents.rdf 
en-GB/.jar/autoconfig/contents.rdf
--------------------------
File to patch: .jar/autoconfig/contents.rdf
patching file .jar/autoconfig/contents.rdf
can't find file to patch at input line 21
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -b -B --exclude='*.*htm*' -r 
en-US/.jar/communicator/bookmarks/addBookmark.dtd 
en-GB/.jar/communicator/bookmarks/addBookmark.dtd
--------------------------
File to patch:
--- my dialogue end ---

Cheers,
Constantine.
