Archive-name: auto/comp.windows.x.announce/X11R5-public-fix-16-now-available-on-export

Patches for a variety of problems in R5 are now available via anonymous ftp
on export.lcs.mit.edu, and the xstuff mail archive server on expo.lcs.mit.edu.

Fixes are available via anonymous ftp to export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12),
in the directory /pub/R5/fixes/.  The file for this fix is "fix-16".
Instructions for applying the fix are included in the file.  Fixes usually
propagate to other distribution sites as well, so it may pay to check at a
nearer site first.

For those without ftp access, individual fixes can be obtained by mail by
sending a message to xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.11).  In the usual
case, the message should have a subject line and no body, or a single-line
body and no subject.  Fix 16 from xstuff is multi-part, you need to ask for
fixes "16a" and "16b" individually, e.g.
	send fixes 16a
to get part 16a and
	send fixes 16b
to get part 16b.  Concatenate both parts together before applying.
To get a summary of fixes, make the line:
	index fixes
If you need help, make the line:
	help
Some mailers produce mail headers that are unusable for extracting return
addresses.  If you use such a mailer, you won't get any response.  If you
happen to know an explicit path, you can include a line like
	path foo%bar.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu
or
	path zot!gzork!me@uunet.uu.net
in the body of your message, and the daemon will use it.
