Wrong. Shell will expand it as

patch -p0 < ../Patches/Patch1 ../Patches/Patch2

and oops... shell syntax error.

Indeed, you're right. So this:: patch -p0 < ../Patches/* will only work if there is only one patch. For more than one patch, one could do this:: find ../Patches/ -exec patch -p0 -i \{\} \; but that's a long way from the ZenFromZopeCoders page .. Which makes me wonder again if Evan uses a different version of 'patch'? Jean
