patch.exe missing from cygwin? [Newbie]

[WINDOWS 98]

Hi.  Just installed Cygwin, looking for patch.exe.  It has diff.exe, but 
no patch!  Any idea how I can get this utility?  It doesn't necessarily 
have to be through Cygwin.

Thanks for your help,
- AAA

If you go to the cygwin home page you'll find a link marked "find 
<packages/> a package or file in the cygwin release." Clicking on  that 
and typing "patch.exe" tells you there is a package called patch :) Just 
change the view of setup.exe from normal to packages, and find patch. 
Cygwin doesn't install everything in the normal install (because it 
would be huuuggee)

The package search page (<http://cygwin.com/packages/>, search for
"patch.exe") shows that patch.exe is part of the "patch" package, which is
not installed by default.

Yes indeed - just install it.  Cygwin is a lot larger than back in
the B18 days, and now you can select the packages you want.
In this case, the patch utility is in the "patch" package, so just
run setup.exe again, choose the "full" view, and select the patch
package.  You may find it worth installing a few other useful
packages for development at the same time - the default set
of packages is fairly minimal.

Hi.  Just installed Cygwin, looking for patch.exe.  It has diff.exe, but
no patch!  Any idea how I can get this utility? _________________________________________

It's right up front, an option on the setup.exe menu.  Way back in those B-18 days, it built out of the box from the standard gnu sources.
