The patch program is avaliable via your local archive server.  See the
comp.archives postings for how to find them, if you don't know how.  (A good
program, you'll need it eventually even if not for elm.)

As for elm patches, there is, in fact, someone who will mail them to you.
His name is "archive-server@dsinc.UUCP", and all you have to do is send him
a polite message of the form:

	send elm2.2.p2 elm

and soon the patch will arrive in your mailbox.  Get your orders in now, it
looks like patch #2 didn't get very far so the server might be a bit busy . . .

Official instructions for using the elm archive server are included in each
and every patch Syd sends out, somewhere in the pre-patch text.
