The Athena 8.2.10 patch release is scheduled to be deployed on Monday
night 9/21/98 for all platforms.   Changes include:

	* The zctl unhide behavior has been reverted to the 8.1
	  behavior: always set exposure to realm-visible.

	* A bug was fixed with outgoing encrypted rcp to krb4 hosts.

	* telnetd -e should now work with NCSA telnet.

	* ftp should now properly do CNS-style krb4 authentication.

	* The SGI root dotfiles no longer set the DISPLAY environment
	  variable, since they were doing it wrong.

	* Locally delivered mail is now delivered before name
	  resolution is performed, so that machines off the network
	  can still deliver local mail.

	* On Solaris, the Athena xterm X resources should now apply to
	  root logins and terminal-style logins.

	* On Solaris, fgrep is now on local disk.

	* On Solaris, the XIE server module is now a symlink into AFS,
	  to save space.

	* On Solaris, OpenGL support was added (packages SUNWffbgl,
	  SUNWglh, SUNWglrt, SUNWglrtu, SUNWglut, SUNWglwh,
	  SUNWglwrt).

	* On Solaris, patches 105361-05, 105363-09, and 106022-04 were
	  installed to update support for the Elite 3D frame buffer.

	* On Solaris, patch 106439-02 was installed to make syslogd
	  not die on repeated HUPs (such as those sent by newsyslog).
