Are patches available for anonymous ftp from any site on the net, or do I have to obtain them from the vendor (in my case, SUN)? It would (probably) be much easier and faster to ftp patches, especially since this would allow me to check for the existance of (new) patches for bugs that I am not yet aware of! (Gee, it sure would be nice to fix a bug *before* I find it!) Anyone from Lucid listening? My thoughts exactly. Although in our case, it more like is anyone from Sun listening. Sun does have a dialup database of bug fixes, you figure out which ones you want and then ask your salesdroid for them. But putting the info on the Internet would be much easier for all concerned. Would it be legal for a third party to do this? -- Mark Brinsmead Alberta Research Council -- -- Steve Olson -- MIT Lincoln Laboratory -- olson@juliet.ll.mit.edu --
