The latest upgrade of SLS is up on tsx-11 (except for b5/smail.taz, which
I uploaded to sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming/smail.taz, because
tsx-11 ran out of space again).   Except for adding the afm fonts for
doc to the 'x' series, all the changes are in the 'b' series.

The main additions, are mailpak (thanks to Vince S.) and the ghostscript
and afm fonts.  I was really against bulking up SLS with Megs worth of
fonts, but now that it is done, you can finally do WYSIWYG composition
using SLS (X11, Ghostscript, Idraw and Doc).  

As usual, I reorganized, so some packages got moved to different disks.
This is a hazard of trying to keep the distribution floppy based.
This time however, I documented the moves and deletes in the HISTORY  file
which follows.


921213: b1/syslogd.taz:  updated version
	b4/syslogd.taz:  [rm]
	b5/man.taz: [mv] to b6
	b5/man2.taz: [mv] to b4
	b5/*: GS, fixkbd, smail, uucp
	b6/elm2_3.taz: [rm]
	b6/uucp.taz: [rm]
	b6/install.end: [rm]
	b6/tin1p4.taz: 
	b7/*: Ghostscript fonts
	b8/*: News and mail stuff (and new elm)
	x5/afm1.taz: Fonts for Doc/postscript
	x8/afm2.taz: Fonts for Doc/postscript


It looks worse than it is, because I explicitly indicate when I moved
something ([mv] to dest) and when I deleted something ([rm]).  I will
be following this convention rigorously in the future, so it should
even be possible to use a script or program to do the updates for
you, depending where you are.

The next update will probably be in the next few days, but will just be
the kernel upgrade to .99, as I am anxious to rid SLS of a patched kernel.
Also, we could be seeing a new version of Doc, and hopefully the rest of
the Interviews package, after shared jump libs are generated for X and IV.
After that, SLS will stop adding new features, and concentrate on fleshing
out what is there, and making it better.

Peter.
