1548	Section 6.51.2 nitpick	randy@…	lfs-book@…	"Noted in the description of the patch program:

""Modifies files according to a patch file. A patch file is normally a
difference listing created with the diff program. By applying these
differences to the original files, patch creates the patched versions.""

This is not entirely accurate. Here is a revision which, in my opinion
is more accurate:

Modifies and/or creates files according to a patch file. A patch file is
normally a difference listing created with the diff program. By applying
these differences to the original files or directories, patch 
creates the patched versions.

Note the changes are in the first and last sentences."	defect	closed	lowest		Book	TESTING	trivial	fixed
