I accumulate and distribute them. I have a very limited amount of time to
spend actually tracking bugs down, but am happy to collect and distribute
the reports and fixes sent by others.
There is a collection of files available for FTP as follows:
machine: gatekeeper.dec.com (16.1.0.2)
account: anonymous
password: guest
directory: pub/DEC/magic
Send mail to me if you don't have FTP access. The first file to look at
is called "index". The contents of index are about to be updated, and here's
what it will look like in a day or so:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
