configuration, nor does it interrogate your system to discover which patches may
already be installed. PatchPro presents to the user all the patches (in install order)
for the selected configuration. A

README.txt

file with the install order is supplied

as part of the tar file.The patch installation order listed in the README.txt file may
not coincide with those listed in this book. Follow the installation order defined in
