UPDATES TO PACKAGES
			-------------------

	There are times when I add updates to packages.  These
	updates are contained in separate `.tar-gz' files and are
	named according to the name of the original package, with
	the date replaced with `UPDATES-' followed by the date of
	the update in question.

	For example, if the is an EMACS-19_28-19950918.TAR-GZ, the
	updates are named something like EMACS-19_58-UPDATES-19950919.TAR-GZ.

	If there is an update dated the same day as the package,
	you do not need it.  It's an update for an earlier revision
	of the package.

	For example, if these are the files available:

		EMACS-19_28-19950627.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950629.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950704.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950706.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950909.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950917.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-19950918.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950918.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950919.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19951120.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19951121.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-19960225.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19960225.TAR-GZ

	if you want the latest available revision of Emacs, you only
	need whatever you're missing among the following files:

		EMACS-19_28-19950918.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950919.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19951120.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19951121.TAR-GZ
		EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19960225.TAR-GZ

	You don't need EMACS-19_28-UPDATES-19950918.TAR-GZ at all.
	That one is an update to get to the same level as the
	package EMACS-19_28-19950918.TAR-GZ from the earlier revisions.

	When you have fetched the files, you have to unpack them
	in date order.  If you don't, older files may overwrite newer
	ones, and you'll get an unstable Emacs as result.  Unpack
	them in the same directory, then purge (unless you want to check
	the changes), configure, compile, link, install and run.
