1) Take a file, say integer.spad.pamphlet
2) Edit the file and save the changed file as integer.spad.pamphlet.ralf
3) diff -Naur integer.spad.pamphlet integer.spad.pamphlet.ralf >integer.patch
4) cat integer.patch | mail -s "integer.patch" address@hidden

When you receive a patch, you can say:
1) patch <integer.patch
and it will change integer.spad.pamphlet to include the new changes.

Since the original file is literate the patched file is literate.
