One is to get it from mod.sources archives (now comp.sources.unix.) The other is to send mail to Larry Wall in a format that will make his automatic software distribution program send you what you want. Currently available are patch, rn, and other things. Here's a copy of the trailer from an "rn" distribution: Larry Wall {allegra,burdvax,cbosgd,hplabs,ihnp4,sdcsvax}!sdcrdcf!lwall If you send a mail message of the following form it will greatly speed processing: Subject: Command @SH mailpatch PATH rn 4.3 LIST ^ notice the c where PATH is a return path FROM ME TO YOU in bang notation, and LIST is a list of one or more patches you need, separated by spaces, commas and/or hyphens. Saying n- will give you everything from n on up. -- # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G-202, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs
