How do I manually download patches if I am unable to use (sys:update-allegro)?
We maintain a publically accessible FTP site from which users can download all available patches. Please visit: ftp://ftp.franz.com/pub/patches/8.1/. From the parent directory, one can also access patches for past versions of Allegro CL. This directory contains a README file with instructions for manually downloading patches toward the bottom of the file. As patches become available, the files in this directory will be updated, so it is a good idea to be aware of when patches are released. The FAQ item here provides information on how you might do so. For a general explanation on how to find and load the patches for your version of Allegro CL see http://www.franz.com/support/patches/.
