Hello,

I'm trying to help a friend install R4 on a SparcStation over in
Switzerland.  They have a tape of the distribution, but when they tar
tape #1 it doesn't have the directory structure I'm familiar with.
There appears to be many S.xxxx files that look like things controlled
with SCCS.  Are you now packaging the distribution with SCCS control
and if so, why?  Also, it appears that the 'patch' program will not
compile correctly because of the S. in front of every file name.
Could you outline the correct procedure to install the patches, as it
doesn't seem to be covered anywhere in the distribution.

Thank you in advance,

John LeMoncheck
