An eigth set of patches is now available from ATHENA-DIST.MIT.EDU, either
by anonymous FTP or by archive server mail retrieval.

I expect that this will be the final patch distributed by Athena; we are
beginning work on an implementation of the proposed V5 protocol.
[Before you ask, we will probably have preliminary code for that
sometime in early February; don't call us, we'll call you.]

Anonymous FTP:
connect to ATHENA-DIST.MIT.EDU, retrieve /pub/kerberos/patch8  (patch
only) or /pub/kerberos/README (for instructions on obtaining the entire
distribution).

Archive server mail retrieval:
send a mail message with a subject 'send krb-code patch8' to
archive-server@ATHENA-DIST.MIT.EDU
