Some patch & FAQ news:
As has been mentioned, patch 1696 recently released. Patch 1696 is a
backport of the functionality in Performer 2.0.4 (performer_eoe
for IRIX 6.4) for IRIX 6.2 and 6.3.
If you had Patch 1347 installed, you can replace it with 1696.
Some liner notes:
- The release notes for Patch 1696 indicate it is for IRIX 6.3 or
above. This is not entirely correct. It is for 6.2 or 6.3.
Specifically, patch 1696 updates performer_eoe 2.0.1, "2.0.2",
and 2.0.3.
- The 'inst' rules for 1696 do not mark it as a replacement for
1347, so 'inst' or 'swmgr' will not automatically remove the
now-obsolete 1347 when you install 1696. We recommend you do
remove 1347 by hand before installing 1696:
# versions remove patchSG0001347
# [install 1696]
Those of you with SupportFolio access can download the patch
from: http://www.sgi.com/Support/patch_intro.html
It's so big (77MB) that you might want to just download the
individual subsystems. You can also get them from:
ftp://sgigate.sgi.com/pub/Performer/src/pf2.0/patch1696/
I've also updated the FAQ to correspond to the currently-released
software. It can be retrieved from:

sometime during the next couple weeks..
