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