   1.0 Preface

   Please note that a Private Fix Level (PFL) covers only those problems
   listed under topic #4.0 in this file. PFLs are released by Alaska Software
   on an irregular basis, depending on the current demand of single or
   multiple customers or a particular 3rd party vendor.

   PFLs do contain special corrections or bug fixes. PFLs are dedicated
   to a specific or a group of specific issues. All changes provided with
   a PFL will be included in the next release of its corresponding
   base-product.

   Please note, a PFL updates only single components of a product.


   ________________
   2.0 Installation

   Before you install a PFL we strongly recommend to make backup copies
   of all components going to be replaced by the PFL. Otherwise you would
   not be able to restore the pre-PFL state at a later point in time.

   You should install the PFL only when you want to resolve one of the
   problems listed under #4.0. If you install the PFL you must replace
   all components included in the PFL. For installation, proceed as
   follows:

   A.) Make sure that no Xbase++ application is running and no
       component of the development package is active.

   B.) Make backup copies of all files listed under #3.0

   C.) If the PFL is shipped as a zipped archive, unpack the
       PFL162.ZIP archive in a temporary directory.
       Copy the unpacked files into the appropriate directories of
       your Xbase++ installation.

   D.) If the PFL comes as a self-extracting EXE file, copy
       the file into the installaton root directory of the
       corresponding base product (e.g. D:\ALASKA\XPPW32\)
       and execute it.
