-APPLYING PATCHES
-----------------
-
-Using patch files saves network transmission times when upgrading 
-to the next version of RSL.  Patch files are context differences
-from one RSL release to the next.  The patch files are located
-in the anonymous ftp directory pub/software on trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov, 
-and they typically have the name of the form rsl.v1.14_to_v1.15.patch.gz.
-
-You will be applying the patch files from the directory where 'rsl' is
-a subdirectory (from the parent directory of rsl).
-
-Follow these steps to upgrade using patch files.  This demonstrates applying
-patches from version 1.11 to 1.15.
-
-1. Make a symbolic link called 'rsl' that points to the current version
-   of RSL you have.  For example:
-
-   ln -s rsl-v1.11 rsl
-
-2. Apply patches.  Here we'll go from v1.11 to v1.15.
-
-   zcat rsl.v1.11_to_v1.12.patch.gz | patch
-   zcat rsl.v1.12_to_v1.13.patch.gz | patch
-   zcat rsl.v1.13_to_v1.14.patch.gz | patch
-   zcat rsl.v1.14_to_v1.15.patch.gz | patch
-
-3. Rename the rsl-v1.11 directory to be rsl-v1.15.  You no longer
-   need the 'rsl' directory.
-
-   mv rsl-v1.11 rsl-v1.15
-   rm rsl
