Try pam (part of the upgrade kit). The patch works under U(pause)MAX 4.(pause)3
using both patch & pam.

> Also, with one program (even forgot the name), I had to remove some of the files on my ram disk to give patch enough room to work (even though the ramdisk was 384K in extended...  I had to leave about 300K to get the patch to install).

Again try pam (too late now :-). It uses no /tmp or physical memory space.

I'm also intersted in uname.*. I can't seem to find it in any of the crc
listings :-)
