Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What is the NEXTSTEP 3.3 patch and how do I get it?
A:
You can download the patch from the NeXT Computer web site. Also, it will be available on CD-ROM from NeXT for $115.
Symptoms:
Grayscale images in either 2-bit or 8-bit simply crash the window server.
Links are lost: The problem in question is most likely due to a bug in NEXTSTEP, which was patched by Concurrence 2.5 when used with the NEXTSTEP 3.3 patch release.
Unfortunately, all documents created with prior versions of Concurrence will still exhibit the problem, as it affected document creation. The problem is manifested in lost or misdirected links to attachments in your Concurrence documents.
The source of the problem is a bug in the way in which the NEXTSTEP AppKitServer interprets group permissions for the files which are used to manage link locations in the NEXTSTEP ObjectLinks mechanism.
