Patch Installation Instructions: 

The patch package contains at the top level a README file (this file) and
patch_install script file. As root, run this script file to install the
files in the correct place. The files are installed in the directory
/usr/sunlink/nf by first renaming the file as <file name>.50
then copying the new files in its place.
 
If patch_install does install the file correctly follow the instructions
below to install the files by hand.
 
mv the new versions of files into /usr/sunlink/nf after first saving the
old versions aside as a precaution.
 
As root:
 
mv /usr/sunlink/nf/install/install_nf /usr/sunlink/nf/install/install_nf.50
mv /tmp/install_nf /usr/sunlink/nf/install/install_nf
 
Rerun install_nf on your system.
