Patches

[Max Caines]

I have just put up a copy of 'sam' after reading about it in the UK magazine
.EXE. The writer mentions that there are some patches available to implement
'move to type' on the mouse pointer rather than 'click to type'. As I have
used X this way for some time, I'd like to put those patches in. Can anyone
point me to them? I'm running it on a Sun with SunOS 4.1.2.

Please send replies to me direct, as I'm not on the mailing list (yet,
anyway). I do have access to USENET news, if it simplifies things at all.

Looks like a nice package, by the way - my appreciation to those who
support it.

Thanks

The patches sound promising.  How do I get them?

Thanks,
