Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
Refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm'
scripts provided with Solaris.  Any other special or non-generic
installation instructions should be described below as special
instructions.  The following example installs a patch to a standalone
machine:
 
	example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
	example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:

None.
 
Special Notes:
--------------
 
NOTE 1:
The bugfix for 1191725 introduces support for a new argument reference keyword
Args_all in the CDE dtactionfile(4) syntax. This keyword behaves exactly like
Args, except if surrounded by quotes when each argument is quoted separately.
 
The following action definition shows how "Args_all" can be used to
individually quote each argument in an action:
 
ACTION Compose
{
	LABEL           Compose
	ARG_TYPE        *
	ARG_COUNT       *
	TYPE            COMMAND
	WINDOW_TYPE     NO_STDIO
	EXEC_STRING     dtmail -a "Args_all"
}
