+Svc_Conf_[ly].cpp.diff are used to patch their respective files in
+ACE_wrappers/ace.  They are used by the Makefile in that directory,
+so users don't ordinarily need to be concerned with them.
+
+To update Svc_Conf_l.cpp.diff:
+
+1) % cd ACE_wrappers/ace.
+
+2) Create the unpatched version of the file, in Svc_Conf_l.cpp.orig:
+   % /bin/rm Svc_Conf_l.cpp
+   % make Svc_Conf_l.cpp RM=echo
+   % cp -p Svc_Conf_l.cpp.orig Svc_Conf_l.cpp.save
+
+3) Create the new version of Svc_Conf_l.cpp.  If the old patch succeeds,
+   you can use it:
+   % /bin/rm Svc_Conf_l.cpp
+   % make
+   % mv Svc_Conf_l.cpp.save Svc_Conf_l.cpp.orig
+
+   Otherwise, the new version has to be created manually.
+
+4) % diff -u Svc_Conf_l.cpp.orig Svc_Conf_l.cpp > ../etc/Svc_Conf_l.cpp.diff
+
+5) % rm Svc_Conf_l.cpp.orig
+
+6) % cd ../etc
+   % cvs commit -ko -m'updated diff file' Svc_Conf_l.cpp.diff
+
+To update Svc_Conf_y.cpp.diff, follow the same procedure, above, as
+for updating Svc_Conf_l.cpp.diff, but replace "_l" with "_y".
