I have uploaded the following files onto zap.mit.edu (18.72.0.126) for installing the Andrew Toolkit: /contrib/andrew/install.txt /contrib/andrew/PATCHES1-36.tar.Z The first file is a text file that describes the installation process for building an Andrew Toolkit and related applications. Part of the process involves applying a collection of patches to the sources in the original tar file. The patches are in the second file, a compressed tar file. When uncompressed and untarred, there are 33 "difference" files that can be used by the patch program on the X.V11R1 tape (files are numbered 1 [sic] to 36 with 1, 13 and 14 missing). One suggested way to apply the patches is by using the following command (assuming "Patches" is the directory containing the patches): cat Patches/? Patches/?? | patch -p As stated in an earlier message, one of our reasons in getting these materials out early is so that people can provide feedback on how well they can get the system running on their machines. As best as we can, we will try to incorporate all required changes into the version that gets shipped on the X.V11R2 tape. However, the time and network constraints between now and Feb 14 may prohibit us from uploading all patches that actually will be applied to the final version. As always, please send comments, code sources, or difference files to andrew-toolkit-info@andrew.cmu.edu. -Mark
