How do we get working Keen 6 data from patches?

[synthead]

From the README:

omnispeak/README

Lines 16 to 29 in ea931f3

	Omnispeak supports:
	- Keen 4 v1.4 EGA
	- Keen 5 v1.4 EGA
	- Keen 6 v1.4 EGA
	- Keen 6 v1.5 EGA
	These should be the easiest versions to get. For example, the Steam version and
	the GOG.com version are both version 1.4, as are all the previous downloadable
	versions from both id Software and 3D Realms / Apogee. Keen 6 is not easily
	available, but you should be able to find patches which convert one version of
	the game to another. Keen 6 v1.5 fixes a few bugs, so it's probably best to use
	it if you can. Note that the game will likely crash if you use any other version,
	including the CGA versions and the v1.0 releases, as well as the retail FormGen /
	GT Interative versions and the Keen 6 version bundled with the id Anthology.

Do you have a link to the patches that are described in the README, and perhaps a short guide on how to create these Keen 6 images?

That's what I was thinking of when I wrote the README. The archive here should have everything in it, but IIRC, it's a mix of old DOS and Windows 98 patching programs, so might not be enormously useful.

I've quickly put together a set of 'bsdiff' patches for the versions I had available, which should be more unix-friendly:
