Installation Instructions:
The PATCHXTR.CMD and PATCH.EXE files discussed in this procedure require
OS/2 v1.1 or later.
The XTROS2.EXE file contains the following:
- This Readme document
- PATCH.EXE (a utility Novell provides for installing product patches)
- PATCHXTR.CMD (a batch file to facilitate patch installation)
- Xtrieve PLUS Patch files (XTRIEVE.411 and XQLCALLS.211)
- Replacement files (files with the same names as the files they
replace)
To update Xtrieve PLUS v4.11, complete the following steps:
1. Create a directory on your system, and copy the XTROS2.EXE file to
that directory.
2. Use the utility PKUNZIP.EXE to unzip the zipped files.
3. Install the Xtrieve PLUS patch files (XTRIEVE.411 and XQLCALLS.211)
as follows:
a. Refer to the list of patch files in the section of this Readme
file entitled "Original File Information," find the original
files on your system, and ensure that your original files match
those listed.
NOTE: This patch is cumulative; it contains all previous patches
to Xtrieve PLUS v4.11 for OS/2. Consequently, if you
installed a previous patch, you should restore the
original files by reinstalling them from the installation
diskettes, or by renaming the XTRIEVE.ORG file (created
during the previous patch installation) to XTRIEVE.EXE.
b. Use the DOS COPY command to copy the original files into the
directory that contains the unzipped patch files from
XTROS2.EXE.
c. Run PATCHXTR, which verifies that you are patching the original
released version of the software, applies the patch, and gives
the original files an .ORG extension.
d. Use the DOS COPY command to copy the patched files back to the
original file's directory.
4. Install the replacement files as follows:
a. Find the directory that contains the original files to be
replaced.
b. Before copying the replacement files, back up the original
files to a diskette or to another directory.
c. Use the COPY command to replace the original files with the new
files.
5. After applying the patches, you can remove the directory you created
to store the XTROS2.EXE file. You may also want to verify the
version numbers when you load each program. The version numbers
should match those listed in the next section, "Patch File
Information."
