The first few patches went out to the NCR mailing list; I figured
I was wasting bandwidth, got an FTP account on TSX-11, and started using
it instead, only putting announcements and tiny patches out on the
mailing list.

Just apply the rel9 patch to 1.2.10.
>What does (sortof) mean?
Sortof means that they're against 1.2.10 + the ELF patches; and there are
three? places where it won't patch cleanly because of it.
