[I know that I should really be posting this to a news group that
 deals with X, but I'm not a frequent reader of those groups and
 I'm trying to do this on 386BSD.  I know that others have built
 X11R5 on 386BSD, I'm looking for their input on this problem -paul]

I've got the entire mit X11R5 distribution on a (large) disk and I'm
trying to apply the MIT public fixes.  BUT, the first fix seems to be
fix-01...   When I do 'patch -p -s < fix-01' I get the following message:

  This file doesn't appear to be the public-patch-0 version--patch anyway? [n]

I assume that this message is a result of this line (found in fix-01):

  Prereq: public-patch-0

Am I right in assuming that this means that there exists a fix-00 and
that export.lcs.mit.edu (*THE* source for X11R5) does not have this
fix?
