1. Fixes 1-30 are available via anonymous ftp to zap.mit.edu and decwrl.dec.com, in files with prefix "FIXES". Fixes get put there in batches at intervals only. The files have been resplit into groups of 10, and cleaned up slightly, but are otherwise unchanged. 2. Individual fixes and batches can be obtained by mail by sending a message to xstuff@apx.lcs.mit.edu (address 18.30.0.209). In the simplest case, the message should have a subject line and no body, or a single-line body and no subject, in either case the line should be something like one of these: send fixes 1 3 5 7 send fixes 1-10 15 21-30 To find out what fixes and batches exist, make the line: index fixes If you need help, make the line: help APX does not use a domain resolver (sigh), so it may lose on various hosts. Flames to /dev/null. 3. Release notes are apparently missing some vitals. After editing your favorite <mach>.macros file, at top-level do make Makefile make Makefiles make depend # but see caveats in release notes make -k # or without -k 4. lib/X/ks_names.h is a generated file. "make depend" should create it, or you can explicitly do a "make ks_names.h". 5. Send bug reports to xbugs@athena.mit.edu. 6. No, we haven't sped up color on Suns yet. 7. .BodyFont is now .Font in defaults.

I assume you know this, but apx.lcs.mit.edu hasn't been accepting smtp
connections for at least the past week or so.
As usual, the mail doesn't always go through to everyone. I
announced in the past week or so that xstuff has moved to a
new home, expo.lcs.mit.edu [18.30.0.212].
