Is there a "patch.exe" ??
I'm trying to get a database caching system called memcached running on win32. I'm using vs2008. I found a version of memcached that's ported to win32. this version has a file named "libevent-1.4.4.diff" with instruction to:
"Apply the patch using a command line like: patch -E -p 1 -i libevent.diff".
I can't find a program called "patch". Anyone give me a clue what i'm looking for or where to look? Thanks for the help.

patch is a *nix command. http://linux.die.net/man/1/patch
You can download a Windows version here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm
However, if you use the GNU tools (MinGW) then you can use MSYS Supplimentary tools (DTK), which provides a version of patch.

There is also, of course, Cygwin...
Hope this helps.
