install patch on windows

[djoefish]

Does anyone know how to install a patch on Winodws? For example, I want
to install the patch 'ocmalloc-free-arenas.diff' in Python 2.3.

thanks...

You can get patch (and quite a lot besides) for win32 from
the UnxUtils project:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils

about GNUWin32, which has a 'patch' program for windows. I amd trying
it now to see if it works.

I now have a 'patch' program and I am able to patch on windows. Thanks
for the help.
