The two SHARF files are the postings themselves, without headers and
footers.  Three or four people asked on the net about the two .uue files,
but no explanation was ever given.  Ast posted a (revised) catchsig.s whose
crc did not match the posting; Andrew Cagney reposted it with the correct
crc and uuencoding.
 
It is probable that the uue files were mostly the local crcs for those
directories.  Certainly once I had given up on them, and built the 
system regardless, the crcs worked out ok once Cagney's posting arrived.
 
The position with respect to the 1.5.10 postings is more complex.  The
following list is ast's crc file for 'files that are changed in 1.5.10'.
Against the files is the situation found when attempting to update from
a 1.5.9 system.  At the beginning of the update, all files had the 
correct 1.5.9 crcs, and at the end all files had the correct 1.5.10 crcs.
 
1.5.10 Crcs  Name                   Update process from 1.5.9 to 1.5.10
42940   2116 include/time.h       | unchanged from 9, not in 10 posting
21032   1152 kernel/config        | patches correctly

29570  27550 kernel/ps_wini.c     | patches correctly
22996  13852 fs/cache.c           | unchanged from 9, not in 10 posting
08922  13329 fs/open.c            | unchanged from 9, not in 10 posting
40616  16536 fs/read.c            | unchanged from 9, not in 10 posting

54996  10485 tools/menu.c         | unchanged from 9, not in 10 posting
51493   8084 tools/bootblok.s     | patches correctly
32531    788 lib/ibm/catchsig.s   | 9-10 patch not uuencoded, added by hand
41596  38494 test/test17.c        | patches correctly
13138  32112 test/test18.c        | patches correctly
47940   1703 test/Makefile        | unchanged from 9, not in 10 posting
11978   7621 commands/tsort.c     | patches correctly
19518   7468 commands/unshar.c    | unchanged from 9, not in 10 posting
53145   2837 commands/fixbin.sh   | unchanged from 9, posted patch is 8->9
 
I haven't yet built the 1.5.10 system; it looks as if only catchsig has
changed in the library, which I've now updated. I'll try building the
commands and kernel overnight, and see what happens.
 
Good luck - Will

It is quite possible that some of the changes for 1.5.10 are in fact from
1.5.8.  I didn't really move the whole 1.5.9 tree from my PC at home to the
Sun, so I may have mixed up 1.5.8 and 1.5.9 a bit.  Sorry.  However, given
the crcs, it should be possible to see if you have everything ok.  Haste
makes waste.  I knew that, actually, but it doesn't make the haste go away.
