libFoundation User Patch

The libFoundation User Patch provides fixes to several bugs introduced in NEXTSTEP Release 3.3 Foundation Library.

This patch is useful for several 3rd party products. These vendors should inform you if you do need this patch. If you have any question about which products, please contact the vendors of those products.

This is the same Foundation library that is included with EOF, NEXTSTEP 3.3J, and WebObjects (including the demo). If you have either of these installed, you do not need this patch.

Caution: These packages should only be installed on systems running NEXTSTEP Release 3.3.
The NEXTSTEP libFoundation User Patch Update consists of one package:

FoundationUserPatch.pkg, available from:

ftp://ftp.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/MultiCountry/Enterprise/nextstep/patches/3.3/FoundationUserPatch.compressed

Contains updated shilb library for computers running NEXTSTEP Release 3.3 and 3.3 patch 1.
