I ordered and received the X11R2 taps from MIT several months ago. I built
the X11 core system with no problems. Now a coworker is trying to build the
andrew toolkit from the X11 contributed tape. He has run into a problem
with one of the files; contrib/andrew/be2/raster/raster/raster.c. The
file appears to be missing the first parts of the code section. Here is
what the begining of the file looks like.

It appears that the end of the copyright comment block is incomplete and the
first part of the follwing code is gone. I read it off the tapes again, to
make sure it was not misread, but it is still missing.
I have checked on xstuff for the latest list of fixes, but there is nothing
there about this. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how or
where to get the complete file. Is there some place other than xstuff that
fixes for the contributed software are archived?
Please email any responses.
Thanks in advance,
