How to make the diff file?

I've made an attempt at doing one of the easier
documentation bits,
but I was wondering how I was supposed to make a diff. Is it
enough to
diff the old file and new file, or do I need to cvs diff the
whole
tree, or what?

This page

should have the proper pointers on generating the diff.

You need only diff the file being modified, using

  cvs diff -pu1 <filename1> <filename2>
