How do I read and edit these patches? Do I need a certain program? I keep getting the "Windows can't open this file" message.
Any text editor should do to edit the .patch files, e.g. Notepad.

In Step 4 of the patching process it says: "In Windows double-click 3.19.5761.bat; For Linux/Mac open a terminal, change to the patch_kobo_3195761/ subdirectory, and run ./3.19.5761.sh from the command line."

I don't see a ".bat" file anywhere. Where is this file supposed to be located?
It is located in the patch_kobo_3195761/ directory, same place as the .sh file. Maybe Windows is not displaying the file extension but using an icon to indicate that it is a .bat file?
