I am meeting my milestones and still expect to have Andrew Version 6
ready to hand to REL-ENG in time for code cut.

I wanted to notify you of something that will  affect another part of
the release.

For the previous version of Andrew we hacked the font path of all Athena
workstations to either add /usr/andrew/X11fonts or
/usr/andrew/X11fonts.100.

The new release does fonts differently and this hack can be REMOVED.

Proposal:
	Make the friendly test packs with the hack removed and confirm that the
	new andrew font fetching code correctly operates.  (I will have done testing
	 of my own as well.)
