I have made these changes available for anonymous FTP on mimsy.umd.edu in a file called pub/pyrestore.tar. If you don't have Internet access, I can mail it to you. It is a series of diffs, so you will need the 4.3 restore (this is what we run on the Suns too. At least it is a starting place). The 4.3 restore is smart enough to do byte-swapping on its own, so our changes mostly just deal with block size and conditional symbolic links. Pete
