[This is my first followup since installing C news, so... have no idea if
this'll work...]

Yes.  The patches posted by John R. Levine (johnl@iecc.cambridge.ma.us)
work great with the May-92 performance release.  He posted the patches to
comp.unix.sysv386, alt.sources and comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit on 19-Oct-92.  
Though his changes were based upon the 22-Dec-1991 version of C news
they apply to the May-92 version with almost no modifications.  Patch
failed in 2 or 3 places because the code was trivially changed.  It was
very easy to figure out the corrections to these patch failures.

If it is of interest, I could post the patches relative to the May-92
release.
