I copied all of "rn" from simtel20.arpa and after unpacking everything I started applying patches (using "patch"). Everything went O.K. until I tried to apply patch rn43.fix29. The patch would not apply correctly. Question: Is this a common occurance? If not I don't know where to begin to find my problem. Question: Is "rn" available via FTP with all patches applied. Any suggestions? Thanks. Please reply directly to richr@etl.arpa -- Rich Rosenthal richr@etl.arpa US Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories Fort Belvoir, Virginia 22060-5546 (202) 355-2830
