+2.1  Special Note to LNUX Architecture Users
+--------------------------------------------
+
+        The V2.12.2 HSI binaries (mkpkg, xc, hardcopy translators, etc)
+have a known problem affecting compilation of local tasks or external
+packages and should be replaced.  This patch fixes the problem, however to
+fix only the compilation issues a new set of HSI binaries are also being
+made available the patch directory as
+
+        ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v212/PCIX/patch2a/hbin.lnux.x86.gz
+
+To use this file, simply download in binary mode and unpack in the
+$iraf/unix/bin.linux directory.
