Performers,

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:

     (HTML)
     http://viz.tamu.edu/~sgi-faq/faq/html/performer/
     http://viz.tamu.edu/~sgi-faq/faq/html-1/performer.html

     The mirror sites (rtfm.mit.edu) will be automatically updated
     sometime during the next couple weeks..
