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 files for the new fixes are "fix-18", "fix-19", and "PEXlib.tar.Z". PEXlib.tar.Z is part of fix #19. Instructions for applying the fixes are included in the files. Fixes usually propagate to other distribution sites as well, so it may pay to check at a nearer site first. WARNING: Fix #18 was previously released as an optional patch, in support of the X Test Suite, and was labeled "Release 5 XTEST Public Patch" (the file on expo was "/pub/XTEST/R5fix-xtest-1"). If you have already applied that patch, do not try to apply fix-18! Proceed instead to apply fix-19. 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. For example, make the line: send fixes 18 to get fix #18, and send fixes 19 to get fix #19. To obtain PEXlib.tar.Z, you need to request the individual parts "PEXlib.uu.1", "PEXlib.uu.2", "PEXlib.uu.3", and "PEXlib.uu.4", then concatenate them together to create a file "PEXlib.uu" and then do uudecode PEXlib.uu to produce "PEXlib.tar.Z". To get a summary of all 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. Brief notes on what patch 18 provides: xtest: add implementation of XTEST extension Brief notes on what patch 19 provides: PEXlib: add implementation of PEXlib, a new X Consortium standard Xlib: improve extension error reporting
