Glad to see you upgrading your MOO database :) Thanks :)

The instructions should work for "anyone running GNU patch, traditional 
patch, or a patch that conforms to POSIX" [1]. On such a system you 
shouldn't have to specify the files.

I've never used Solaris. Perhaps SUN has changed the GNU patch utility 
... I don't know.

You could always try to get help by typing

man patch

to get the manual page (man page) for the Patch installed on your 
system. You may also try

patch --help

to get help with the same Patch.

Those should tell you how to use the patch, e.g. how to specify the 
files to be patched (and how the command should look on your system).


Btw: Did you "stand" in the `patches' directory while trying to apply 
the patch? If so; don't. You must stand in the MOO-1.8.1 directory for 
that command to work (since you're telling the patch utility to use the 
unicode-moo-4.diff file located in a directory `patches' /below/ the 
current working directory).


Hope that will be of *help* to you
