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

  'uname -a' gives you all the kernel info; see the uname(1) manpage
  for other options.

  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).
