JDK 1.1 PThreads patch installation is a joke ....

Hi,

We're about to start a big Java 1.1 project and I wanted to install
the JDK 1.1 from DEC which can be downloaded from:

   http://www.unix.digital.com/products/internet/java.html

It requires the installation of a Pthreads patch which is really
a joke. In the accompanying text file, DEC is seriously telling
me to replace 77 (in words: seventy-seven) files by hand using
"cd path; mv file file.old; cp -p /patches/file ."

This just can't be true? Or am I missing something?

Has anybody come up with a script for that? The problem is that
all new files are in one directory and the final locations are specified
in the inventory section of the TXT file.

Thanks a lot -- Tom
