Re: patch to fix scs2pdf and other massive SCS overhaul

Hi,

When you create a patch, could you please create it from within the
tn5250 directory?

For example, don't do this:
     cd /foo
     diff -ur tn5250 tn5250-new

instead do this:
     cd /foo/tn5250-new
     diff -ur . ../tn5250

The problem I'm trying to solve is that when I apply the tn5250-scs patch
that you've posted the link to, it asks me for the filename of every
single file that you've changed, since I don't have a tn5250-new
directory.

Won't this create the patch backwards (i.e. remove changes instaed of adding them)? Obviously if you don't have those changes they can't be removed, but the patch is still backwards. Would you rather I did this:

mv tn5250 tn5250-old
mv tn5250-new tn5250
cd tn5250-old
diff -ur . ../tn5250

?
