INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the fix on the system:                                     
                                                                         
      1) Be SURE you have downloaded the JR14422.exe in BINARY format.
                                                                                  
      2) Create a temporary directory and copy JR14422.exe into the        
         temporary directory and run the file to uncompress it.                    
                                                                         
      3) Stop Communications Server for Windows NT (including your node, 
         Node Operations, Node Configuration, Log Viewer, and any other  
         CS/NT components you have started).  Note that there may still  
         be CS/NT-related services running on the machine after stopping 
         these applications, but this is normal and will not affect      
         the installation of this fix package.                           
         
         IMPORTANT! This is an APAR fix, so carefully compare the dates
         of the parts supplied with this APAR fix with the dates of the
         parts you are replacing. If ANY of the parts being replaced are
         more recent than the parts shipped with this APAR discontinue the
         installation of this fix and contact Customer Support for clarification. 
      
      4) Run the INSTFIX.BAT file specifying as parameters the path 
         where Windows NT is installed.  For example, you might type:
         
         INSTFIX.BAT c:\winnt

         and then press Enter.  This batch file will rename the CS/NT files 
         being replaced, copy in the new files, and update the server's 
         registry (if necessary) to take advantage of the new files.  The previous 
         versions of the files will have ".preJR14422" appended to their filenames 
         to make them unique.
     
      5) Shutdown and Restart the CS/NT server machine.                  
                                                                         
      6) Restart your CS/NT node.
