Instructions for Users

1. Download the tabriz_patch program. Install it wherever you like. Make it an executable file if it isn't already.

   If you are using Netscape (or other WWW browser), it may display the patch program as text, since this is a script file. If so, simply save this text to disk and make the file executable.

   Note that you only have to do step 1 once; you can reuse the same tabriz_patch program to install all current or future Tabriz patches.

2. Download the desired patch file(s), putting them wherever you like.

3. For each patch you want to install, execute the command

   tabriz_patch <patchfile>

   E.g., if you've downloaded a patch called patch1.tar.Z, you would say

   tabriz_patch patch1.tar.Z

Notes

• The patch installer program requires that perl5 (or perl4) be available and in your current $PATH.

• Patches are incremental unless otherwise indicated. You must install all patches up to the desired patch level. Superseded patches will be flagged with the patch that replaces them.

• You might have to specify the full path to the tabriz_patch program if it's not on your $PATH directory list.

• The tabriz_patch program will figure out how to install the patch. It will let you know what changes it is going to make and give you a chance to stop it before it changes anything. In some cases a patch might have no effect (e.g., installing a docs patch in an installation that does not include any docs files); if so, the tabriz_patch program will let you know that the patch is not necessary.

• When you install a patch, you should install it for each copy of Tabriz you've installed, including both primary and secondary installations.

• If you've already installed a patch and try to install it again, you'll be told it's already there. You can go ahead and re-install it if you want to (e.g., if you think you might've lost some of the changes).

• If you run tabriz_patch and do not specify any file on the command line, it will produce a list of the patches you have already installed, and the dates when they were installed. General Magic's customer support folks may ask you for this information to help them understand any problems you report.
