From: rms@PREP.AI.MIT.EDU (Richard M. Stallman) Emacs version 17.63 is now available. Differences from versions 17.60, 17.61 and 17.62 are in /u2/emacs/diff-... on prep.ai.mit.edu. These files range in size from 20k to 35k. Perhaps someone would like to post them to an appropriate list; I am not sure whether it is good to post such large files to this list, so I will let others decide.

If somebody on an ARPA site or other up-to-date system would please mail the diffs to upgrade 17.61 to 17.63, I would much appreciate it. I will distribute the diffs to other GNUsers here in St. Louis. 17.61 --> 17.63 mail to nz@wucs ( {cbosgd,seismo,ihnp4}!wucs!nz ) [This missive edited with GNU Emacs 17.61] -- ...nz (Neal Ziring at WU ECL - we're here to provide superior computing.) {seismo,ihnp4,cbosgd}!wucs!nz OR nz@wucs.UUCP "You could get an infinite number of wires into this !*$$#!?! junction box, but we usually don't go that far in practice" -- Employee of London Electricity Board, 1959

As always (*sigh*), osu-eddie has the indicated diff files, all you need do is have your system call osu-eddie and pick up the diffs. For the nth time, here's the instructions on how to do it. Please keep this around for future reference if you think you might possibly ever need it; I get a lot of requests of the form, "Could you send me the instructions for uucp'ing...?" And by the way, the diffs are not all that large; the phone cost to call us (in Columbus, OH) would *not* be that great. If you can handle a once-a-week call to a site like ihnp4 for mail purposes, you can afford to call us for diffs. ================== Access information ================== _H_o_w _t_o _r_e_a_c_h _o_s_u_-_e_d_d_i_e An L.sys or Systems file line suitable for osu-eddie. osu-eddie Any ACU 1200 1-614-422-7709 "" \r\c in:--in: gnumacs word: gnumacs Modify as appropriate for your site, of course. This is a time-restricted login, that is, osu-eddie will not allow logging in via this name outside the time period 10pm-7am, in order to keep our (still) lone dialin available for primarily local access. When (if?) we get a second dialin line, this restriction will probably be removed. We're working on scaring up the $$$ to get 2400 baud modems, too. _W_h_e_r_e _t_h_e _f_i_l_e_s _a_r_e GNU Emacs exists on osu-eddie for distribution purposes in compressed tar form, exactly what you find on host prep in edist.tar-17.57.Z. For the sake of uucp sanity, it is cut into 12 parts, as the set of files /usr/spool/uucppublic/gnumacs.dist/Part-[a-l]. The first 11 parts are all exactly 200,000 bytes long, followed by the trailing 12th which is 160,483 bytes long. The separation helps to keep long distance uucp sane, so that if it fails midway through a conversation, you need restart only with the part that failed, rather than the whole beast. There are also now diff files in .01 increments to take 17.57 up to 17.63; the names of those files are diff-oo.oo-nn.nn.Z, in the same directory. _W_h_a_t _t_o _d_o _w_i_t_h _i_t _a_l_l Pick a night when you can afford to be at the office late. {:-)} Arrange to have the files uucp'd to your site. Copying the complete set will take on the order of 5 hours. Your mileage will definitely vary, by as much as 30% on either side of that estimate. After the files have all showed up, you should put them back together in a single file again with cat(1), as in cat Part-? > edist.tar-17.57.Z Then you should uncompress the resulting file, and run `tar xf <file>' to extract the complete distribution. Voila`, you have GNU Emacs, ready to build and cause you both joy and pain for the rest of your life. _I_f _y_o_u _d_o_n_'_t _h_a_v_e _c_o_m_p_r_e_s_s We have the source to compress lying around here as the file /usr/spool/uucppublic/compress.shar. It's about 79K long. _I_f _y_o_u _r_e_m_e_m_b_e_r _n_o_t_h_i_n_g _e_l_s_e This file of instructions exists as the file /usr/spool/uucppublic/gnumacs.ins on osu-eddie. _I_f _y_o_u _h_a_v_e _p_r_o_b_l_e_m_s _g_e_t_t_i_n_g _u_u_c_p _t_o _w_o_r_k Someone invariably does have problems. Feel free to write me some mail; I'll be happy to help as much as I can, though that is frequently limited by distance.
