By "patch" Ed meant the output of "diff -c" or "diff -u" between the
unmodified MGCP source and the modified MGCP source - sending the whole
file means that the person receiving the file has to do more work if the
file has changed since the person sending the file made the
modifications, and a narrative description of the changes means the
person receiving the file has to apply those changes by hand.

The output of "diff -c" or "diff -u" can be supplied as input to the
"patch" program, which will attempt to apply the changes listed in that
output to the current version of the file.
