- This question comes up every month. Answer book suggest getting the
- fixed version from 2/1991 Catalyst CD. OL FAQ suggest getting a version
- from ftp.eng.auburn.edu [131.204.10.91] as /pub/xrealfishdb.Z.

- On my Sparc 2, it drastically slowed my machine to a crawl even with a
- few fishes. I suggest you get contrib/xfishtank.tar.Z from
- export.lcs.mit.edu, you can use the same fishes and background as
- realxfishdb and you can still do real work.
