To simplify the patching process there will be two sets of patches available:
one which will bring from OWLNext 6.04 and OCFNext 6.16 to the latest version and
one which will update the previous version released.
New patch naming scheme suggested by Andrew Bond:
owl***p$, where *** is the version number of the source that is being patched
and $ is the "increment" (so that the version you get at the end is *** + $).

with VC--, I hope it will be corrected soon. |
