The important thing to know about the BMR bundle is that it contains all 
program fixes from April Cume 1998 until September 30 1998. It is not an 
official cumulative - that is, it was not put through testing and was built 
actually by the SSA Australia Helpline. So, if you have recieved any BMRs 
AFTER September 30 1998, you need to Re-apply them after the BMR Bundle is 
applied so that you don't end up with code older than what you previously had 
for those programs. It is recommended for new or recent 6.0.04 installations, 
who do not have many BMRs applied. If you already have recieved numerous 
BMRs, you probably have in effect already recieved most of what is in this. 
It may fill in a couple of 'blanks' in the code trees you get with BMR 
explosions when it pulls program dependencies. 

One other advantage to applying it, is when you do order new BMRs, you can 
tell them you are on the BMR Bundle, and the BMRs that get built by the 
packaging program are smaller because they only pull code dependencies from 
October 1 1998- now. 

Or, you could wait until this fall, when a new 6.0.04 cumulative release is 
definitely going to be put out. No firm date yet. That cume will contain code 
changes from base 6.0.04- about May/June 1999.
