Patch files

I have a .patch file that modifies the torque game engine and I want to use it. How would I go about doing this?

Download the GNU patch util and check out the manual.

If you're on Windows, then there's a port of patch. You could also install cygwin and use the patch util it includes.

edit: The above assumes it's a patch file created by diff.

I put the patch file into the same folder as patch.exe and ran patch.exe

The patch is scaling.patch so i typed: patch -pnum scaling

nothing happens. any ideas?
