#160

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
