Has anyone in netland successfully applied the IBM patch V1.32 for AOS (4.3bsd)
to allow use of an 8514 display with the X11R4 server?  When I tried it, I had
numerous problems.  First, many lines in the distribution (I ftped a copy from
bikini.cs.ufl.edu) were split into two or more lines, resulting in compiler
errors.  Second, the directions for installation (e.g. the mods needed to
ibm.cf)
were unclear.  Third, the file server/ddx/ibm/ibm8514/ibm8514.c was apparently
missing.  Can anyone report better luck?

Firstly, it is not clear to me why lines would be split with ftp.  Perhaps
the source files on bikini.c.ufl.edu are incorrect.  You may want to check it,
or find another source.  Mail or call me if you have a problem.

I did forget to tell everyone to turn on inclusion of the ibm8514 driver
in ../mit/config/ibm.cf.  The patch to include 8514 and vga, plus set the
compiler version correctly is included below.

	cd ../mit/config
	patch < this_file

Lastly, there is no ibm8514.c.  ibm8514.o is created by loading all the
objects.
