This directory contains the FixPaks for VisualAge for C++ for Windows, Version 3.5 (US English version). The FixPaks are broken down into a number of different subcomponents to help simplify the FixPak distribution. Within each subcomponent, the FixPaks are cumulative, so you only need to apply the latest one for each subcomponent. These FixPaks are designed to work with the US English version of VisualAge for C++. If you try to install them on a national language version of the product, the results may be unpredictable. The FixPaks use the following name convention: - The first two characters are alway WT. - The next character indicates the subcomponent: C - Compiler (including C/C++ compilers, ILINK, ILIB) D - Documentation (none released yet) O - Open Class Libraries S - Open Class source code T - Toolkits (including Win32 SDK and Win32s) U - Utilities (including debugger, browser, performance analyzer) V - Visual Tools (including Visual Builder and Data Access Builder) W - WorkFrame - The next two characters are the version number of the product. - The last character is the level of the FixPak. So, WTC351 is the first compiler FixPak for VisualAge for C++ Version 3.5. WTC352 is the second compiler FixPak. WTV351 is the first visual tools FixPak. Each FixPak is in a separate subdirectory. See the readme.txt file in each subdirectory for details on what you need to do to apply the FixPak. Order of applying FixPaks: 1. reboot 2. WTC354 (skip this step if you have already installed WTC354) 3. WTO354 4. WTW354 5 reboot 6. WTV354 7. WTU354 8. WTT354 9. reboot 10.
