In an effort to immediately correct any problems discovered in the
originally shipped product, &company provides patches as a continued
service to its customers. To determine the current patch level of your
&company software, a TECHINFO utility program has been provided.
This program will display your current environment variables, the patch
level of various &company software programs, and other pertinent
information, such as your
.fi AUTOEXEC.BAT
and
.fi CONFIG.SYS
files.
This information proves to be
very useful when reporting a problem to the Technical Support team.
.np
To run TECHINFO, you must ensure the &company environment variable has
been set to the directory where your &company software has been installed.
TECHINFO will pause after each screenful of information.
The output is also placed in the file
.fi TECHINFO.OUT.
.np
Below is an example of some partial output produced by running the TECHINFO
utility:

In this example, the software has been patched to level "d".
In most cases, all tools will share a common patch level.
However, there are instances where certain tools have been patched
to one level while others are patched to a different level.
For example, the compiler may be patched to level "d" while the
debugger is only patched to level "c".
Basically, this means that there were no debugger changes in
the D-level patches.
.np
If you run the TECHINFO utility, and determine that you are not at the
current patch level, it is recommended that you update your software.

.ix 'CompuServe'
Patches are available on &company's bulletin board, &company's FTP
site and CompuServe.
They are available 24 hours a day.
Patches are also available on the current release CD-ROM.
Each patch will include a batch file that allows you to apply the
patches to your existing software.
Note that patches must be applied in sequential order, as each patch
depends on the previous one.
