The patch worked for me, I did "patch < patch.txt" against tzcode2007h and fed it each filename in sequence. Compiled fine as well. The patch did look a bit strange, as to the filename format. -s On 09 Nov 2007, at 20:51, Jonathan Leffler wrote:

I tried to apply this as a patch and run into two problems. The file names are not readily obvious to the patch program; the names it sees are /tmp/geta13002 and /tmp/getb13002 etc, rather than (say) date.c. There should be a 2 characters (eg two blanks, or "! " or "+ ") at the start of each line, but by the time Gmail gets the message, there's a blank missing at the start of lines such as the #ifndef lines at the start of the patch below. I also had some unfortunate line-wrapping, but I'm willing to blame that on the (other) email program I use. I tried manually fixing up the patch file for the line starts, but was not successful.
