The libFoundation User Patch provides fixes to several bugs introduced in NEXTSTEP Release 3.3 Foundation Library.
This patch is useful for several 3rd party products. These vendors should inform you if you do need this patch. If you have any question about which products, please contact the vendors of those products.
