The files shown above will not work as decsribed in the FAQ. 
the patch-5.2-20011222.sh requires ncurses-5.2-20011222.patch.gz in order to 
work properly.

The actual file in the directory, (20011229) assumes that the previous rollup 
has been done.

Since I do not have the 1222 update already done, the patch
in the directory does not work.
