   1.0 Preface

   Please note that the 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 product.

   PFLs do not contain special corrections or bug fixes. Instead, all
   changes provided with a PFL will be included in a following and
   comprehensive ServiceLevel.

   Please note also that a PFL replaces only single components of the
   product. Therefore, only a limited number of problems is resolved.
   A ServiceLevel, however, covers all components of the product and
   fixes the most problems known at that point in time.


   ________________
   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 which is required for the
   installation of the next ServiceLevel.

   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 
       PFLxxxx.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 and execute it.
