So, if you know how to generate a diff file you know how to generate a patch. Right? And I can do diff -u a/FILENAME b/FILENAME > FILENAME.patch and get that file. Is that what you mean? Or can I, as I was trying to verbalize in my original post, get FILENAME.patch let alone send the contents of it to an email message using Ediff? Thank you, for your patience with my effort to verbalize my needs.
