I've finally got up to date on my mail, so I think I'm ready to dive into
following -current. I'm wondering if the below is still a good description
of how to update from a pre-signal changes -current to recent versions?
UPDATING still mentions the xinstall business, but I seem to have gathered
from recent posts that this is no longer necessary?
Thanks,
Doug
