Subject: [PATCHES] Patch for INSTALL
The following patch makes a number of modifications to file INSTALL.
Among other things, it restores some platform specific notes I deleted.
It also no longer requires a separate compile for the regression tests.
Please note that this patch already incorporates the patch Hal Snyder
submitted on Monday. Do not apply Hal's patch.
Subject: [PATCHES] New INSTALL file.
I have created a much more comprehensive version of the
/usr/src/pgsql/INSTALL file. It should replace the current 970428 version
of this file.
