Subject:    -2- How can I determine which release of IRIX I'm running
                and which patches are applied?

  'uname -aR' gives you all the kernel info; see the uname(1) manpage
  for other options.  (Thanks to Claude Goutier 
  <goutier@JSP.UMontreal.CA> for the -R switch information.)

  Of more general use, since kernels don't always reflect installed
  software, is the versions(1M) command.  'versions' with no arguments
  lists all the installed software subsystems. 'versions -b patch\*'
  lists patches.

  IRIX 5.2's System Manager ('chost') has the IRIX version number under
  "IRIX Version" and a listing of installed software under "Software"
  (the "Show Installed" button).
