Installation Instructions:
NOTE: In this document, XQLP and XQLPO are referred to
collectively as XQLP(O).
This patch is cumulative and includes updates for both v4.10 and v4.11.
If you have Xtrieve PLUS v4.10, read this entire document. If you have
Xtrieve PLUS v4.11, read "Installation Procedure" and then skip to
"Xtrieve PLUS v4.11 for DOS."
The PATCHXTR.BAT and PATCH.EXE files discussed in this procedure require
DOS v2.1 or later.
The Xtrieve PLUS for DOS patch set contains the following:
- This Readme document
- PATCH.EXE (a utility Novell provides for installing product
patches)
- PATCHXTR.BAT (a batch file to facilitate patch installation)
- Patch files for Xtrieve PLUS (XTRIEVE.410 and XTRIEVE.411,
which you use to patch versions 4.10 or 4.11) and for XQLP(O)
(XQLP.21A and XQLPO.21A)
- Replacement files (files with the same names as the files they
replace)
To update Xtrieve PLUS, complete the following steps:
1. Create a directory on your system, and copy the XTRDOS.EXE file to
that directory.
2. Use the utility PKUNZIP.EXE to unzip the zipped files.
3. Install the patch files 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 v4.10 and Xtrieve PLUS v4.11.
Whether you have the original XTRIEVE.EXE from the 4.10 release
or from the 4.11 release, you will still apply the same
patches.
Again, please use the original file information specific to the
version of Xtrieve PLUS you are patching.
b. Use the DOS COPY command to copy the original file into the
directory that contains the unzipped patch files from
XTRDOS.EXE.
c. Run PATCHXTR XTRDOS. (Entering PATCHXTR without any parameters
displays a usage screen that lists all the parameters.)
PATCHXTR verifies that you are patching the original released
version of the software, applies the patch, and gives the
original file an .ORG extension.
d. Use the DOS COPY command to copy the patched file 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 DOS 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 XTRDOS.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."
IMPORTANT: As mentioned above, if you patch v4.10, your current
version of Xtrieve PLUS becomes v4.11a. When you are
ready to patch v4.11, perform Steps 3 through 5 again,
using the information provided for Xtrieve PLUS v4.11.
