I was able to apply *both* patches without a hitch.  I did spaf's
patches without the loose option (ie: patch -p < foome)   -- the
purdue+ took the -l option to stick.

Spaf said the problem is the version of patch people use (ie They
go nuts updating things like X11R3 and let little tools like patch
slide by - *then* they bitch)  

This isn't a flame - just that the problem is patch not the speedups.
Granted, Gene could have done without the -b option - but my patch didn't
complain.  

Anyway - update your patch everyone!   My patch is at level 12 - this may not
be the most recent but it works on the speedups.

BTW - I put xplaces.tar.Z on expo.lcs - this is something I whipped up that 
does what toolplaces does under suntools (sic).   The xplaces that floated
around last winter didn't work for me.  I also sent it to sources.x.
