I have just brought up the andrew system on X.V11R4, straight from the dist
tape. I have brought it up on SunOS 4.1 on a Sun 4/280 (sparc).
Are there any official patches to the andrew toolkit that I need to apply,
and if so where do I get them from, and also does anybody know when there
is going to be 'offical' support for SunOS 4.1.
I'm have quite a lot of problems with it at the moment as the applications keep
on core-dumping from time to time, with a heavily corrupted stack.
Aside from that the seems to be some bitmap corruption as well.
All in all though it is great and I hope to 'spread the word' amongst fellow
staff in our department, so any help anyone can give as to the above problems
would be gratefully appriciated.

Actually, that should be andrew-service@andrew.cmu.edu -- here's some of
the help doc:
To reach a particular service, send mail to
``andrew-service+servicename@andrew.cmu.edu'',
where ``servicename'' is the name of the service. For example,
to make a
request of the Archive service, please address your mail to
``andrew-service+archive@andrew.cmu.edu''.
All the services will respond to a request for help if you send
a message
with the word ``help'' as the only word on a line in the body
of the message.
If you have a problem with any service, or with the
andrew-service itself,
please send mail addressed to
``andrew-service+servicename-customer-service@andrew.cmu.edu''
and someone will attend to your needs.
Available services are:
archive -- Provides access to the set of released Andrew
programs (ATK/AMS/ODA).
finger -- User lookup service.
customer-service -- Will forward your message to some person
for handling.
Thank you for your patronage.
