I've sorted it now, I ended up using dtox & then echoing it to a file like you suggested. This sort of thing
>$1.okp
dtox $1.kp > $1.dtox
for line in `cat $1.dtox`
do
echo $line >> $1.okp
done
Have to release a patch over 220 boxes now though!

shape_patch
SHAPE_PATCH(1) General Commands Manual SHAPE_PATCH(1)
NAME
shape_patch - shapeTools RMS generate patch file
SYNOPSIS
shape patch OLDRELEASE=<name1> NEWRELEASE=<name2> [PATCHFILE=<filename>]
DESCRIPTION
Shape patch generates a patch file for updating $(OLDRELEASE) to $(NEWRELEASE). Both releases are identified by release names associated
with the macros OLD-/NEWRELEASE on the command line. Valid release names are those generated by any of the shape_RMS (pre-)release building
procedures (see shape_releas(1)). Performing 'vl -all' with the release identification file as argument usually gives a good overview of
existing release names. Patch generation happens recursively over all subsystems being part of the current node. Hence, triggering shape
patch from the top node of the central source repository creates a patch file for the whole system.
The output of shape patch is stored in a file named <name1>+2+<name2>.pat. When the PATCHFILE macro is set on the command line, $(PATCH-
FILE) is taken as output file name instead. Defining PATCHFILE=- on the command line causes the patch to be written to standard output.
Note: For patches invoking multiple subsystems, $(PATCHFILE) should be set to an absolute pathname. If not, the patch generation procedure
will leave an equally named patch file for each visited subsystem.
The patch is constructed using the vdiff(1) command and can be applied to any installation of $(OLDRELEASE) by invoking patch(1).
INCONVENIENCES
On System V machines, the generated patch file name will almost certainly exceed the 14 characters filename length limit.
