There are two ways to get "patch".  One is to get it from mod.sources
archives (now comp.sources.unix.)  The other is to send mail to Larry
Wall in a format that will make his automatic software distribution
program send you what you want.  Currently available are patch, rn, and
other things.  Here's a copy of the trailer from an "rn" distribution:

	Larry Wall
	{allegra,burdvax,cbosgd,hplabs,ihnp4,sdcsvax}!sdcrdcf!lwall

	If you send a mail message of the following form it will greatly speed
	processing:

	Subject: Command
	@SH mailpatch PATH rn 4.3 LIST
		   ^
		   notice the c

	where PATH is a return path FROM ME TO YOU in bang notation, and LIST
	is a list of one or more patches you need, separated by spaces, commas
	and/or hyphens.  Saying n- will give you everything from n on up.
