[ Followups to comp.soft-sys.andrew ]

I've made available patches to version 6.2 of AUIS so that it
can be compiled and run on NetBSD-0.9/XFree86-2.0.  These
patches can be fetched from:

	ftp.cs.adelaide.edu.au:pub/AUIS-6.2+NetBSD-0.9.tar.gz

Included in this archive is a fix to the mail system so that
the AUIS mail programs work on NetBSD.

Rather than provide diffs, I've created an archive containing both a
new version of the modified files and an RCS store (if you really want
the patches use rcsdiff).  To `apply' the patches, unpack this archive
on top of the auis-6.2 source tree.

If building auis-6.2, you will need: 32mb for the installed binaries
and 90mb for the compiled source.  (Oh and a very fast machine with
lots of memory, my 386 takes arround 10 hours...).

Special thanks to Michael O'Reilly <michael@iinet.com.au> who did the Linux
port for ATK-5.1 on which these changes are based.

Further notes can be found in the file:

	auis-6.2/NetBSD.README

I hope to make the binaries available shortly...

AUIS is `The Andrew User Inteface System' Copyright 1988, 1992 IBM
Corporation and Carnegie Mellon University.  This package may be
better known as ATK (The Andrew Tool Kit).  See the
comp.soft-sys.andrew FAQ for more information.

NetBSD 0.9 is one flavor of the 386/Net2 BSD's that (long ago) started
with 386BSD.  See the comp.os.386bsd.announce FAQ's for more
infomation.  NetBSD 0.9 does not have dynamic libraries.

XFree86-2.0 is a version of X11R5 for the x86 architecture.
Compiling against the later version (XFree86-2.1) should also
work...
