- I think you are going to have a problem here as 3.2.2, 3.2.3, etc...
- aren't real levels in the sense that they were in AIX 3.1.*. Most
- people just selectively apply PTFs to fix the problems that effect
- them. I think that there are supposed to be some type of cumulative
- fixes in the future that can really be considered level changes.

- At least this is my understanding.
