Installation notes for S-PLUS 7.0.0 to 7.0.3 Patch 
for UNIX/Linux (August 2005)


This file contains instructions for patching your S-PLUS installation.  
The patch updates your existing S-PLUS 7.0.0 installation
to version 7.0.3.  

1. Download the patch file SP700TO703PATCH.TZ.  Extract the contents
   to a temporary, empty directory using the command:
   
   cat SP700TO703PATCH.TZ | uncompress | tar xvf -
   
   If your system has the zcat command, you can use it to shorten your
   extraction command (zcat combines the cat and uncompress commands):
   
   zcat SP700TO703PATCH.TZ | tar xvf -
   
2. After extracting the files, cd into the temporary directory containing
   the patch files.  Execute the following command to apply the patch:
   
   ./patch PATCH.RTP <path to S-PLUS installation directory>
   
   For example, if S-PLUS 7 is installed in /usr/local/splus70, the 
   command would be:
   
   ./patch PATCH.RTP /usr/local/splus70
   
3. After the patch executes, optionally remove the temporary directory.  

4. After applying the patch, run the scripts ./CONFIGURE and ./INSTALL.  
   For more information about running these scripts, see the installation
   instructions found in INSTALL.TXT in your SHOME directory.
