I am in the process of adding some patches to Terry's patchkit, and I
was wondering if those of you who have installed the patches could
give me some feedback on the patches that are already there.

I already know about the patch00019 problems with the extra return, but
are there any other problems that I need to know about?  

Right now my plan is to move all the 'necessary' patches to the front of
the list, and patches such as making all the games compile, and
hardware dependent patches will be moved to later numbers ( > 500) so
when you do a IALL, you get all the necessary ones, and then the later
patches will be installed until you have a problems, such as not having
installed the games, etc....

Any other hints or suggestions are greatly welcomed, so please email 
your reponse this week.  I hope to bring a portable to ComDex(sp?) and
work on this, as I should have some free time in the evenings when I
should be doing homework and such.


Thanks,

Nate

ps. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I can get a new version of the 
Bug Report out with the appropriate patches in Terry's patchkit format.
