I'm installing CAP on a Sun OS3.2. A 'patch utility by Larry Wall' is mentioned in one of the CAP installation documents. My understanding is that it is necessary to apply patches 5, 6 and 7 to the distribution. Am I right? If yes where can I find that utility? ---------- ---------- A.

Strictly speaking, patch is not necessary, it simply makes life much easier. Using patch should take about 15 minutes vs. about 30minutes to 3 hours (doing it by hand) to update the sources. You can find patch version 1.3 in Volume 1 of comp.sources.unix on uunet.net.uu (via anonymous ftp). We actually have patch version 2.0 and I'm not sure if the patch 1.3 will work properly. I don't remember how patch version 2.0 was distributed. Charlie
