I have being incorporating patches into the main distribution for a couple
of months.  The results are posted semi-regularly to the
ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/pub/hylafax/source/BETA/ directory.  There is also a
cvs tree publically available see:
	http://www.hylafax.org/archive/1999-05/msg00140.html
look also here:	
	http://www.hylafax.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi

for details on the changes. A web page formalizing all this will probaly be
done sometime(as soon as God agrees to my request to put a few more hours
into each day ;-)

There are a couple of minor source code things stopping a release, but the
major problem by far is the html documentation which really needs some
updating.

There probaly should be a link on the patches page to the BETA directory
and the cvs stuff to avoid this, at least until a formal release is out.

Could you try the latest beta release, currently posted to:
	http://www.trump.net.au/~rjc/hylafax/
which will be on ftp.hylafax.org sometime soon, it should build cleanly.
