  56 There is a new pretest available in
  57
  58   <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$NEW.tar.gz>
  59
  60 Please report results from compiling and running the pretest to
  61 <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>.  Your feedback is necessary for us
  62 to know on which platforms the pretest has been tried.
  63
  64 If you have the tars from the previous pretest, and you have the
  65 \`xdelta' utility, you can instead download the much smaller
  66
  67   <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
  68
  69 You can use a command like
  70
  71   $ xdelta patch XDELTA PREVIOUS-TAR CURRENT-TAR
  72
  73 to generate the new tar from the old one, where XDELTA is the xdelta
  74 file you downloaded, PREVIOUS-TAR is the tar file from the previous
  75 pretest, and CURRENT-TAR is the name of the tar file you downloaded.
  76
  77 Information about xdelta can be found on the GNU ftp site, in
  78 /non-gnu/xdelta.README.
