Note: To quell some confusion regarding licensing, it was made known
to me that Richard Stallman, founder of GNU, convinced Berkeley to
place Spice version 3 under a free license.

Patch order:

patch -p1 -E < spice3f4.defaults.patch
patch -p1 < spice3f4.3f5.patch
patch -p1 < spice3f4.fixes.patch
patch -p1 < spice3f4.newlnx.patch
patch -p1 < spice3f4.xlibs.patch
patch -p1 < spice3f4.glibc.patch      <-- if you have GNU Lib C (libc >= 6.0)
patch -p1 < spice3f4.dirs.patch
patch -p1 < spice3f4.rdln.patch

To remove .orig files:

rm -f `find -name "*.orig"`

Patch descriptions:

defaults        - reverts many things to original Spice 3f4 defaults
3f5             - 3f4 to 3f5 patches from Berkeley (integrated)
fixes           - some fixes I've made
newlnx		- the new Linux port files
xlibs           - adds -lSM -lICE for systems which need it
glibc           - modifies newlnx for use with GNU Lib C 2 or greater
dirs            - changes spice prefix to /usr
rdln            - adds GNU Readline support 

The last patch is optional (should there be some problem), and gives
you GNU Readline command-line editing and history file support for
both spice3 and nutmeg).  It requires that you have the GNU
Readline library and header files installed on your system.

Read the post-patch spice3f4/readme.Linux file for more information.
