As a tutorial, it was utterly _bad_: +it was unclear, missed important information and focalized on (semi-private) jokes. +I realized this fact in March 2021, when I tried to use Patgen again after decades of oblivion. +Having re-discovered the use of Patgen, which is still as scarcely documented as it was in 1993, +I decided to rewrite this tutorial hoping to succeed where I once failed. I ask in advance for +your indulgence.
