The latest patch, number 3, is available for your immediate action in the file contrib/R4fixes/andrew/patch.003 or patch.003.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). This patch is available as file patch/patch.003 or patch.003.Z compressed. This patch includes diffs for 26 source files. (See RCS logs attached to this note below for more information on changes.) Also available in the same directories is an axuiliary patch, vui.patch which includes 100 help files for vui. Although the files are generally small in size, we separated the patches for those of you who do not plan to use vui. Special patch notes: You must create the directory ./ams/msclients/vui/doc by hand before you can 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 probably 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.003) cd (directory with andrew distribution) (thus, ./overhead and ./atk exist) patch -c -p < ..../patch.003 Good luck.

The problem is that there is a bug in emsworth's ftp (or somewhere near) You wrote "cd patch" and ftp correctly answered "patch: No such file or directory." Next you wrote "dir" while still being in the ftp home directory. The listing ended with "alpha-patches: Permission denied" which is where ftp goes totally crazy. It won't do anything right after that. My suggestion is that CMU either fix ftp or remove the alpha-pathces file/directory from ~ftp, siche no one needs it anymore. You probably should do both.

Since we still use alpha-patches internally, I'll have change a few things before deleting the directory but it will be on my things-to-do list. Thanks again, Susan
