Default Patching OctaMED SS from 1.00 to 1.03c
Patching OctaMED SS from 1.00 to 1.03c

So I copied the OctaMED executable from the CD to RAM: and renamed it to OctaMED.

I then copied English.pch and spatch to the same folder.

Then as per instructions I typed:

Spatch -pCD-english.pch OctaMED

This gives me the error:

File CD-English.pch not found
Patch failed. File OctaMED.new not changed.
Hit return

OK, I have no idea what -pCD is.

If I type the command without -pcd it says:

Format:

Spatch [-ooutput -ppatchfile] oldfile
Patch failed, File not changed.
Hit Return

Soooo....

A. How do I get this to work?

B. How come people write crappy docs?

I wonder if it should be:

Spatch -pCD -english.pch OctaMED

Otherwise, no idea

Or if you want to use the command you typed, copy the file as: CD-english.pch

This should work: spatch -oOctaMED_New -penglish.pch OctaMED

Thankx, that seemed to get the patch to run without error...


Though after firing up the newly patched file...

It still remains at 1.0. STRANGE!

You did start OctaMED.new instead of OctaMED, right?
