- Another poster has already noted that this patch is available on CICA.

- Unless there's a new patch I don't know about, this is the one which brings
- your system up to the MSC 7.0a version. That's the good news; the bad news
- is that it contains no changes whatever to the C compiler itself. All of
- the changes are to the support utilities (make, link, etc.). So...if you're
- encountering a problem with the compiler itself the patch disk won't help
- you, but it may provide relief if you've got problems with the other
- stuff.
-
- I don't know if Microsoft has changed the floppies they're distributing
- to reflect the 7.0a level, but the CD-ROM distribution (when they finally
- started shipping in September) included the fixes.
