OK, Tom, thanks for that. At the risk of looking incredibly stupid, I'm
afraid the patch file has me baffled. You're not doing an RS on me, are
you? ;-)

The patch file obviously contains patches to a number of source files,
which is the first problem. I have only ever used Patch to update a
single file at a time, and try as I might, I cannot get it to work with
multiple targets. What is the correct command line to use? 

Secondly, there are patches to a file called "readme". This existed in
5.30, but has been distributed more appropriately as "Manual/htm" since
the early days. I guess RS, in his efforts to obliterate everything I'd
done, built his 5.50 distribution from 5.30, thereby changing it back.
We need to get our source trees aligned. I'd personally rather stick
with Manual/htm, which allows it to be read on other platforms.
