The latest CSDs (corrective service disks) available from IBM for VisualAge C++ can be downloaded for free from: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/visualagecpp/fixes.

For users of the US English version of VisualAge for OS/2, you need all of the files located in: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/visualagecpp/fixes/v30os2/english-us/fixpak8.

For other language users or for the Win32 VAC++ version, you will need to go into the appropriate subdirectory specified from the first link noted above.

Note:

this fixpack represents more than 20MB of .ZIP files, so you may want to plan ahead before starting your download.

Note:

the file called cts306.zip is generally not needed -- this file is a source fix to the IBM Open Class Library Source Files, a seperate product that can be purchased from IBM at a cost of many hundreds of dollars, and not included by default when you purchase VisualAge C++.

To apply the fixpacks, follow the order prescribed by IBM (VAC++ v3.0 for OS/2):

1. reboot
2. CTC308
3. CTO308
4. CTW308
5. reboot
6. CTV308
7. CTD308
8. CTU308
9. reboot
10. if you have the OpenClass source code, apply CTS308 at any time
