For making a ``patch'', you have to use the program ``diff''.  First, modify 
the file grops.man
(or any other you want to make a patch for) so that it produces the results 
you desire.  Then
save your version under a different name, say grops.man.new

Then give the command:

   diff -c grops.man grops.man.new > grops.patch

Your patch is ready!  You can apply this patch by using the ``patch'' 
command.
For more information read the diff(1) manpage.  You may also read the 
diffutils info manual
if you run GNU/Linux.

Yours sincerely.
