Hi all Answering my own question :o) Regarding a line in Steve Alexander's ZenFromZopeCoders [1] page. In the section: "How Evan keeps his own personal patched Zope up to date" there is the command:: patch -p0 ../Patches/* This contains a typo --- I think it should be:: patch -p0 < ../Patches/* Cheers!
