System: rn version 4.3
Patch #: 16
Priority: LOW
Subject: filexp feeds confusing command to sed
From: 5432dh at homxb.UUCP (David Himber), barto at celerity.UUCP (David Barto)

Description:
	Oops.  I fixed this for the previous version and it somehow unfixed
	itself.  Oh well.

	Filexp feeds a command to sed of the form "s/~/$HOME/", but since
	HOME contains slashes, it won't work.

Fix:	From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source directory.
	Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle".  If you don't have
	the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch.

	NOTE: if you haven't run Configure yet, patch won't find filexp.
	That's okay.  Just interrupt and you're done.  If it does find
	and patch filexp, you should copy filexp to your rnlib directory.

	If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
	to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
	have been applied.  See the patchlevel file to find out what has or
	has not been applied.  In any event, don't continue with the patch.
