The killer "B"s are back for an encore performance[1].  Get them at:
	ftp://ftp2.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-20.3/
	ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/beta/xemacs-20.3/

Please prefer using the ftp2 address to shake out any bugs left[2].
Maintaining dual ftp sites is boring and I want to switch as soon as
possible.

This is an early beta because of major changes, better to shake out
new problems earlier than later.  The next 20.3-beta will be on Saturday.

IMPORTANT: I haven't received a fix for the News/Mail icons on the
toolbar.  They will be installed as soon as Tony (or somebody) writes
it.  If you do not wish these icons to go away (and have not already
customized your toolbar) you might consider backing out the patch to
x-toolbar.el.  At any rate the icons are still present in the
tarballs, and the XEmacs glyphs are still initialized at dump time.

The patches are in
	xemacs-20.3-b20-20.3-b21.patch.gz
See etc/BETA for patching instructions.  GNU Patch is the preferred
patching program, and Patch-2.4 seems O.K., Patch-2.2 and patch-2.3
are deadly.  To apply patches I post to xemacs-beta an incantation of
the form:

$ cd <your-xemacs-beta-top-level-source-directory>
$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=t patch -bp0 < <the-email-file>

The beta distribution is divided into 4 pieces:
	xemacs-20.3-b21.tar.gz
The primary Lisp/C/etc. sources.

	xemacs-20.3-b21-info.tar.gz
The info tree if you do not have a recent patched version of makeinfo.

	xemacs-20.3-b21-elc.tar.gz
Fresh bytecompiled lisp.

	xemacs-20.3-b21-LEIM.tar.gz
Quail input method.  Not all of Quail is functional yet.  If there is
no .elc file the corresponding .el does not work in this beta.

Check the packages-20.3 directory for new packages.

[1]  And I suppose a final appearance since this is the last European
capitol on my list with a first-letter "B" :-(.

[2]  According to all feedback so far, it's far faster than uiuc.edu.
