I accumulate and distribute them. I have a very limited amount of time to spend actually tracking bugs down, but am happy to collect and distribute the reports and fixes sent by others. There is a collection of files available for FTP as follows: machine: gatekeeper.dec.com (16.1.0.2) account: anonymous password: guest directory: pub/DEC/magic Send mail to me if you don't have FTP access.
