Gnu patch is available for OS/2. It can be found on hobbes as
gnupatch.zip.
OS/2 ships with a patch.exe, so one needs to take measures to ensure that
the correct patch.exe is invoked. I rename patch.exe to gnupatch.exe.
To apply a patch, it is usually sufficient to run
gnupatch -p0 <patchfile
from the top level Octave install directory. If the Octave install is
sufficiently non-standard the -p level may need to be higher. Dushan
should review a couple of the path tutorials available on the net.
