File: /outgoing/iris_patches/8.07/README807

This is a summary of the IRIS 8.07 patches available on the SIGMET
ftp site.  File last updated 23 December 2004.  The general proceedure
for installing patches is:
 1) Move the file platform/foo.v1.gz to your IRIS_BIN directory.
 2) Rename the file it will replace (e.g. "mv foo foo.v0" )
 3) Uncompress the new file (e.g "gunzip foo.v1.gz")
 4) Make a symbolic link from the original name to the patch.
    (e.g. "ln -s foo.v1 foo"
 5) Set ownership and mode to exactly match the old file.  You can
    see this information with "ls -l foo*".
    (e.g. "chown operator foo.v1", "chgrp users foo.v1", "chmod 775 foo.v1")
