- For Indigo and RealityEngine systems 4.0.5F is the answer.
- For all other systems 4.0.5a is the answer.
-
- If you have a Crimson system or you are using NFS lockd features,
- you will want the patch maintenance release 4.0.5C that fixes
- two these problems in 4.0.5a.
-
- Both 4.0.5a and 4.0.5F are designed to load over 4.0.1 and later
- releases. You do not need to go to 4.0.5a to proceed to 4.0.5F.
-
- The installation procedure is:
-
- 1. load the standalone tools from the Execution Environment CD
- 2. install the Execution Environment products
- 3. remove the Execution Environment CD and insert the Maintenance
- CD.
- 4. load the maintenance products (type 'go')
- 5. quit
