+Patches to plptools-0.6, collected by Matt Gumbley
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+1) Compilation patches to enable builds on Solaris. ftp.cc and ppsocket.cc
+2) Christof Meerwald's patches so that ncpd can autoterminate (-e option), and
+   patch for mgetty PLP autodetection (in the new patches directory), also a
+   patch to make the connection more stable.
+3) Peter Cherriman's patch which fixes the "one hour out" bug, which "...is that
+   a file timestamp is sometimes different when you do a "ls -l" on a mounted
+   psion, than the timestamp listed by the properties box on the psion.
+
+   My previous fix, no longer worked when the daylight saving changed. Linux 
+   stores timestamps internally as the number of seconds since the EPOC in 
+   UTC(GMT). However the psion seems stores timestamps as the number of seconds 
+   since the EPOC. However the EPOC in defined relative to the currently set 
+   timezone on the psion.
+
+   My new fix takes into account the timezone and DST status provided by the 
+   linux system, it now works in by GMT(UTC+0) and BST(UTC+0+DST), but I 
+   haven't tested it very much in other timezones, but I think it works. 
+
+   It provides the correct timestamps apart from files created within a hour 
+   of a DST change, however this can't be helped due to the strange way the 
+   psion stores timestamps and handles timezone and DST."
+4) Added --with-mountdir option to configure to allow the plpnfsd mount point
+   to be specified at build time. Default is /mnt/psion.
+5) Added /dev/psion at the start of the serial ports probed for.
+6) Peter Cherriman's patch that fixes compilation of ftp.cc on some platforms.
+7) Jim Hague's patches for SIBO, and later Linux Kernels, from Feb 2000. 
+   My apologies to Jim for not merging these sooner.  He says:
+
+   "I've been doing a little work on getting plptools working with my 3a. ...
+    I have plpftp working for file transfer and plpnsfd also working, at least 
+    sufficiently to back up my 3a.
+
+    I have also modified the include files required for the Linux build so 
+    that it works with a 2.2 series kernels with the NFSv3 patch applied; 
+    actually, all I've done is copy the relevant bits of the old NFSv2 headers.
+
+    It all seems to work with my 3a, though compared to p3nfsd plpnsfd seems 
+    very slow at listing directories - when time permits I shall take a 
+    closer look.
+
+    In addition to my English 3a (v3.22F) I have also tried it on an Italian 3a
+    (v3.40F). The latter exhibits some curious behaviour - if you start ncpd, 
+    run up plpftp and quit plpftp, the 3a closes its serial port down (drops 
+    CTS and DSR) and seems to need a reset before it will re-open the serial 
+    port. Again, when time permits I shall see if it does this when using 
+    PsiWin."
+
+    Other parts of Jim's patch:
+    "Which reminds me - 0.6 doesn't seem to have working copyFromPsion and
+     copyToPsion. I've fixed it up and tidied up the retrieval of Owner 
+     Infomation a little - 3as anyway send lots of \0\0\0\0\0, each of which 
+     was being displayed in plpftp as a blank line. "
+
+    Jim's patch removes lots of diagnostics in the rfsv16 code, and looks like
+    it fixes lots of stuff I hadn't got round to <hides head in shame>.
+    Splendid.
+
+Last patch update: 18/07/00.
