The final version of the patch (which you should be receiving at about
the same time as this message) includes instructions. Basicly, either
use the "patch(1)" program, or obtain a full new release by anonymous
FTP from FTP.GreatCircle.COM:/pub/majordomo/majordomo-1.91.tar.Z.
Beware that patches which have been "forwarded" often won't work, because
the forwarding process inserts "- " at the beginning of lines that start with
"-"; thus, the line "---", which the "patch" program depends on, becomes
"- ---", which "patch" doesn't understand.
