Hmmm...I thought you could modify the patched version, becuase in a
pervious message Bill St. Clair wrote:
"
/pub/mcl2/patches/2.0->2.0.1.sea.hqx
If you did not use this archive to do your update, I suggest that
you get that file and use it for the update. It fixes both the
documented size of the new MMU3 resource and the problem with the
version string. The auto-update procedure expects to be run in an
"MCL 2.0" as distributed. If you want to install it into "MCL 2.0p2"
you can comment out the following two lines in the file "make-201.lisp":
(load (merge-pathnames "mcl2.0p1.fasl" *update-dir*))
(load (merge-pathnames "mcl2.0p2.fasl" *update-dir*))
"
So, could someone tell me if you can or can't modify a perviously
patched version?
