Hi! If the following offer is of no value to anyone out there, I plead ignorance. I have been doing UNIX s/w development for 5 years, but, I am new to the world of GNU, FSF, and Unix Share/Freeware. I am currently working on getting X11 running under SCO SysV. When I downloaded the X distribution and patches, I had difficulty applying the patches. On my SCO machine so I applied the patches on a SUN workstation and made an archive of the files which were modified by applying the patches. There are two files the first brings X11 R4 up to patchlevel 14, and the second applys the fix-14.sco01 the fix-14.sco12 patches. Each is approx 1.25 meg. I actually had no trouble applying the SCO patches on the SCO system so I suspect that only the former of the two is actually useful. If there is interest I can uuto the files to you, or if there is much interest I can post them to an anonymous ftp site, or possibly create a guest login/anon UUCP on my SCO machine. If everyone else out there already knows how to apply these patches under SCO clue me in. If anybody has any advice concerning creating a guest login, or running a BBS under SCO, I'd appreciate that also. (Basically I've never administered a system before) Thanks, Chuck Luciano chuck@csn.org P.S. Thanks to Chip Salzenberg for his patches for gcc,g++ and gdb. I am interested in collecting patches/war stories concerning installing GNU software under SCO. If there is sufficient interest I may act as an archive site for these patches and advisories until FSF begins including them in their distribution.

I would like to obtain the patches. I would also very much like to obtain the changes that you make to configure X11R4 for SCO (the config/SCOunix.cf file, config/Imake.tmpl, config/imakemdep.h, config/site.def, etc.). Would you mail me the configuration files directly? (Shar format or straight copies would be wonderful). >If everyone else out there already knows how to apply these patches under SCO >clue me in. I'm interested too. >If anybody has any advice concerning creating a guest login, or running a >BBS under SCO, I'd appreciate that also.

I can help with admin. call evenings, Pacific Standard Time. >I am interested in collecting patches/war stories concerning installing >GNU software under SCO.

Actually it would be really neat if someone would archive the binaries for SCO. I don't mind building some software, but I'm doing X development on a Toshiba with 100M of disk. :-} Regards, Bob Lent uunet!lent52!lent (408) 985 1829
