  33 There is a new pretest available in
  34
  35   <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$NEW.tar.gz>
  36   <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/leim-$NEW.tar.gz>
  37
  38 Please report results from compiling and running the pretest to
  39 <emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org>.  Your feedback is necessary for us
  40 to know on which platforms the pretest has been tried.
  41 Please say whether you built with LEIM or not.
  42
  43 If you have the tars from the previous pretest, and you have the
  44 \`xdelta' utility, you can instead download the much smaller
  45
  46   <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
  47   <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/leim-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
  48
  49 You can use a command like
  50
  51   $ xdelta patch XDELTA PREVIOUS-TAR CURRENT-TAR
  52
  53 to generate the new tar from the old one, where XDELTA is the xdelta
  54 file you downloaded, PREVIOUS-TAR is the tar file from the previous
  55 pretest, and CURRENT-TAR is the name of the tar file you downloaded.
  56
  57 Information about xdelta can be found on the GNU ftp site, in
  58 /non-gnu/xdelta.README.
