Hello Shawn:
I just finished doing it again, following instructions. Allegro has not be
tampered with except to play the demo game which worked fine.
After firing off patch -p1 < difmar19.diff [This time I even included the
extra f which I ignored before]
this is what happened (just as before):
After 18 lines of "patching file..." notes, it stopped and I saw this:
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]
Not having the foggiest what this meant I just hit Enter.
Then it said:
Apply anyway? [n]
Again not knowing what to do I hit Enter.
Then it went to a conclusion, but on the way there were some discouraging
remarks which I do not understand.
Now, maybe the problem is I did not answer the questions properly.
I would like wait until I hear from you before I do a "make" as to what I
should have done in response these inquiries.
I have never installed a patch where I had to respond to questions--I know,
I know, I am a newbie dummy, but I have done pretty good so far with
DJGPP/RHIDE/ALLEGRO/SET and so on.
Please help.
Ralph
