Hi. I'm about to get Motif 1.1 and I've been hearing that there is a patch that is distributed with it to fix Xt. I also hear that it is supposed to be incorporated in the "official" patch15. Well, I just noticed that on the Xstuff service, as of October 2, there is patch15 through patch18: a four part patch for Xt. I have a one simple "yes or no" question: 1) Does this fix incorporate Motif's Xt patch? If you have answered "yes" to the previous question, then when I receive 1.1, I will blindly ignore the instruction that says to install their patch for Xt. If you have answered "no" to the previous question, then I have one more question, which may require a short answer. 2) Should I install the Motif patch (a) before, (b) after, or (c) instead of Xstuff patch[15-18]? Anyone that could help me with this, please let me know. I read this group all the time, but I think our connection is flakey, so mail would be very much appreciated, even if it looks like: 1) False. 2) b. Thanks very much. //=====================================\/==============================\\ || Colin Owen Rafferty || "Life is so complex, parts || || colin@nbc1.ge.com || of it must be imaginary." || || {philabs,crdgw1,ge-dab}!nbc1!colin || -Tim Thiel || \\=====================================/\==============================//

It supersedes it. If you have the MIT fixes, don't apply fix-osf. If you have already applied fix-osf, back it out (with patch -R) before applying fix-17. The answer to Question 2 is moot. I've also sent mail to Colin. -- David Brooks dbrooks@osf.org Systems Engineering, OSF uunet!osf.org!dbrooks "A Loaf of Bread, a Jug of Wine, and Six Spades Redoubled" -- Omar somebody.
