It was not good idea fixing patch at first instead of fixing RCS. The patch stays as is to be compatible with others. If you send me few examples of what happens, and what you expect, I'll try to fix rcsdiff to produce correct +++/*** lines using -L option for diff. Rcsdiff already use -L, but maybe not with correct parameters. Forget about Index:, it is abused by RCS in the way _never_ expected by patch. -- Andrey A.
