1.3: Patches

#Q 1.3-1) Is there a public patch directory you maintain for incremental patches to ACL? If so, how do I get to it?
#Q 1.3-2) What is the IP address of ftp.franz.com?
#Q 1.3-3: Why are there patches on the ftp site with date stamps that are still in the future?


Q 1.3-1) Is there a public patch directory you maintain for incremental patches to ACL? If so, how do I get to it?

A 1.3-1) Yes.  See  ftp://ftp.franz.com/pub/patches/5.0/.   See ftp://ftp.franz.com/pub/patches/5.0/README for an explanation on how to find and load the patches for your version of Allegro CL. As patches become available, the files in this directory will be updated, so it is a good idea to periodically check the particular subdirectories you may be interested in for changes.

The following is an example of how to access the README file in the patch directory:

% ftp ftp.franz.com
Name: ftp
Password: <your email address>
ftp> cd /pub/patches/5.0
ftp> get README

Q 1.3-2) What is the IP adress of ftp.franz.com?

A 1.3-2) The IP address for the machine where the Allegro CL patches are kept is 192.132.95.151.


Q 1.3-3: Why are there patches on the ftp site with date stamps that are still in the future?

A 1.3-3) This problem appears to be specific to the MS Internet Explorer. The dates can be viewed correctly by accessing our ftp via a different browser, or via an ftp client.
