Re: [ferret_users] Patch for Ferret v6.0

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dany,
This release is not done as a patch, but as a executable and environment 
tar files. Please just follow the instructions as if installing Ferret 
for the first time - the environment variables you are already using for 
Ferret will be detected, and you'll be asked if you want to continue 
using the same locations.  If you have changed scripts, etc, in the 
FER_DIR directories, then you may want to move your customizations 
elsewhere if they have the same names as scripts that are part of the 
distribution, but otherwise this all works fine and leaves your files in 
place.
