[comp.windows.x] X11R4 public fixes #3 and #4 now available on expo

rws@EXPO.LCS.MIT.EDU (Bob Scheifler) (03/06/90)

Fixes are available via anonymous ftp to expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212), in
the directory /pub/R4/fixes/, in files with prefix "fix-".  "fix-3" and "fix-4"
are now available, "fix-3" and "fix-4".  "fix-4" is really only of interest to
Apollo users.  Fixes get put there in batches at intervals only.  Fixes usually
propagate to other distribution sites as well, so it may pay to check at a
nearer site first.

For those without ftp access, individual fixes can be obtained by mail by
sending a message to xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu.  In the usual case, the
message should have a subject line and no body, or a single-line body and
no subject, in either case the line looking like:
	send fixes 2
(to get the second fix).  To get a summary of fixes, make the line:
	index fixes
If you need help, make the line:
	help
Some mailers produce mail headers that are unusable for extracting return
addresses.  If you use such a mailer, you won't get any response.  If you
happen to know an explicit path, you can include a line like
	path foo%bar.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu
or
	path zot!gzork!me@uunet.uu.net
in the body of your message, and the daemon will use it.
