by Michael Dovano

New enhancements were included in PATCH/iX [B.01.02] which has a few changes in the

screen as shown:

1. If a PowerPatch is involved in the installation which contains FOS Enhancement

patches, then a dialog shown below prompts the user in the Patch Qualiﬁcation screen.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

| This PowerPatch tape contains FOS enhancements as well as fixes.|

| The default for Patch/iX is not to install these enhancements. |

| |

| Would you like them to be installed (Y/N)? |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

Respond 'Y' to install all 'FOS Enhancements' or 'N' to not install the FOS

Enhancements. If you wish to install only one or more speciﬁc FOS enhancement

patches, then respond 'N' to the above prompt and force the patches manually. Note that

you will still need to force any patches for purchasable products.

2. A new activities menu item ‘[ ] Adding Reactive Patches from Download’ has been

added to allow the installation of download patches without any customization. The

menu item is as shown:
