susan+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU (Susan Straub) (09/27/90)

The latest patch, number 7, is available for your immediate action in
the file /contrib/R4fixes/andrew/patch.007 or patch.007.Z compressed on
expo.lcs.mit.edu (IP address 18.30.0.212).  You can also retrieve the
file from host emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu (IP address 128.2.30.62) as 
patches/patch.007 or patches/patch.007.Z compressed.  If you prefer, you
may pick up a compressed copy of the patched Andrew tree,
andrew.007.tar.Z in the top level ftp directory on emsworth. 

This patch includes diffs for 266 source files.  In addition to the RCS
logs located at the beginning of the patch file, the RELEASE NOTES at
the end of this message includes specific information regarding fixes in
this patch. 

If you don't have ftp access, mail retrieval is available.  For more
information, send requests to andrew-service@andrew.cmu.edu. 

As you know, you should apply these patches with Larry Wall's
patch program, which has been distributed on the X.V11R3 tape as well as
on the X.V11R4 tape and via netnews.  As the patches are all made from
context diffs, you may specify the '-c' option to patch.  You will also need
the '-p' option to allow patch to understand the pathnames in the patch
file.  Thus, you should do this:
	(retrieve contrib/R4fixes/andrew/patch.007)
	cd (directory with andrew distribution)
		(thus, ./overhead and ./atk exist)
	patch -c -p < ../patch.007

Good luck.
