PATCHES

Patches can be applied by hand (error-prone, tedious, and
time-consuming) or using Larry Wall's patch utility (available from
fine FTP sites everywhere, except here).  I recommend using

	% patch -l -s < patchfile

This way, it's flexible in interpreting spacing and doesn't spew
gobs of output that hide potential errors.  If you get a .rej file,
you'll have to fix it by hand.

 identifiers (how to lay blame)

usu	- Utah State University
	  brandon@cc.usu.edu
	  Patches from the Idea Man at the home of Paradise.
ufl	- University of Florida
	  thoth@lightning.cis.ufl.edu
	  Flashy, but beware patches that aren't fixes.  The new
	  features Bob writes always break something.
ia	- Iowa
	  hakehoe@icaen.uiowa.edu
	  Portability hacks for HPs.  General improvements.  Fixes to
	  flashy new ufl features.
au	- Auburn
	  dyessww@Eng.Auburn.EDU /*NOTE THIS HAS CHANGED*/
	  Patches from our primary client hacker and Solaris weenie.
mdm	- Michael McGrath
	  mcgrath@mermaid.itlabs.umn.edu
	  Patches from Eden, the home of Fighters.
reed	- Reed University
	  horde@reed.edu
	  Patches from the Paradise mailing list archivist behind the

Stable Patches (you can compile a working binary from these):

  client: patch 17
  server: patch 7

Note: client.tar.gz and server.tar.gz ALWAYS point to the latest stable
patches.

Beta Patches (they either are not debugged or don't have one side of the
 client-server functionality built in yet):
