help generating patch files
What is the proper/expected way to generate patch files for some source changes I've made? I've made my changes against the 2.37 SVN release.

I simply don't know how to generate a set of patch files, and then also apply those patch files.

Thanks,
Glenn

You should update your sources to actuall version before generating a patch. Good tool for generating patch files is Tortoise SVN. If you work offline, you can use e.g. WinMerge.

Excellent. I'm very familiar with SVN and TSVN, just wasn't sure if that was the best way to create a patch. Thanks.
