The bsd fixes described in ibm-fix V1.33 are available in the
directory ~/ibm-rt-fixes on bikini.cis.ufl.edu [128.227.224.1].
They are in three files: bsdfix.14,bsdfix.15,bsdfix.16. 

These are the exact fixes as released by UCB. I installed them
long ago and they work just wonderfully. The file V1.33 in the same 
directory explains how to install these fixes.

Also in the directory is bsdfix.18, which makes a minor patch to
ctime. Is this needed? I don't know with hc. But I did apply it.

Also in the directory is bsdfix.13, which is a quick and dirty hack
to ctime to "fix the 1987 DST problem". I think this is just a simpler
but less versatile fix to the DST problem. Does it do any good for 1990?
I have no idea. I wouldn't (and didn't) bet on it. Skip this and apply 
14, 15, and 16 instead.

Enjoy.
