I have written a local document which may be of help in upgrading a 0.8
NeXT machine to 0.9.  The document is written for local people, but
many of the things I point out may be useful in general.  It is *NOT* a
substitute for reading the "Notes for Software Release 0.9" nor is it a
replacement for reading the documentation on NetInfo, NetManager,
niload, nidump, niutil, and nidomain, or any of the documentation
related to standard Unix-related configuration.  I try to point out
some of the gotchas and bugs that I encountered locally.

This document is in WriteNow format (written on a 0.9 machine, although
I have verified that it is readable with 0.8 WriteNow) and available
for public ftp from j.cc.purdue.edu in pub/next/0.9.wn.  Make sure that
you transfer the file in binary format.  Let me know if you have problems
reading or transferring the file.

While I have tried to be as accurate as possible in the document, I can not
take any responsibility for errors.  If you locate problems with the
document, let me know and I'll try to update the document.  I'll also try
to incorporate some of the other recommended changes that have been
recommended on the net as time permits.
