I got a diff for adding actual backspace and delete to

of gunkies... Anyhow, I can manually edit the referenced files and
rebuild, but I would rather do it canonically. I don't see patch
anywhere, so did v7 users use diffs to patch source and if so what's
the magic?
patch(1) was written by Larry Wall in 1985, and released over Usenet.
v7 users likely used diff -e, and piped to ed to apply it.
