      SERVICE

    This Fixpak may be installed to any disk accessible to your system,
    including LAN drives.  The service program itself must run within an
    OS/2 2.11 or later session.

    backup the previous version. You may choose to do this or not, but
    you SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTORE THE PREVIOUS LEVEL, using the
    Installation Utility - Restore Action, if problems occur. You should
    delete and re-install the component if an error occurs during
    installation of this Fixpak.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following conditions must exist for Fixpak installation to be successful:

(1) You must have already installed the IBM VisualAge C++ for OS/2 product
    via a basic install from CD-ROM, diskette or from a server to which the
    CD-ROM/diskettes were copied to. You can also install this FIxpak to a
    server to which the CD-ROM install image was copied to.

    Users who have performed a shared install will have to delete and re-install
    this product from their workstation, once this Fixapk has been applied to
    the server.

(2) No IBM VisualAge C++ for OS/2 tools can be open in any session when you
    install the Fixpak.  If the copy of the product being serviced resides
    on a LAN drive, you must ensure that no other LAN user has any of these
    files open.

(3) Make sure that the directory for this Fixapk contains only the files from
    this Fixpak. If other files are present, it may cause the installation to
    fail. It would best to unpack the Fixpak ZIP file into an empty directory.

Please read the following information regarding multimedia classes.

This Fixpak fixes a minor bug in 2 multimedia classes. The IMMRemovableMedia and
the derived class IMMCDAudio send out 2 notifications for a single "mediaLoaded"
event. If additional handlers were added to either of these classes, additional
notifications were sent out. Applications would for example, see this as two
separate occurances of a CD being loaded. This could cause problems ranging
from poor performance (reading the CD content more than once) to an undefined
state within the application (resulting in application-specific errors).

Within your application code:
   a) if you derive from IMMRemovableMediaHandler, you must recompile
       that source file and relink.
   b) if you use IMMDevice or a derived class, you must recompile that
       source file and relink.

The MMSTEREO and MMREMOTE sample applications are also affected, they will throw
an exception and stop. If you have tracing on, you will see, the log exceptions
being thrown from the IMMAudioCD class.  To fix this, recompile both the
MMSTEREO and MMREMOTE sample applications after installing CTO304.
