In addition to following the instructions that accompany the PTF package,
you also need to use ECS and order PTF SF98vrm.  Replace the 'vrm' with the
Version, Release, and Modification of your system (ie SF98410 if you're
running version 4.1.0, etc).

Then print the PTF cover letter you receive (actually, it's -just- a cover
letter), and read it.  You may find additional HIPER PTFs you need to
download that were released after the CUM was stabilized.  Or, you may find
PTFs that are in error and should be excluded from the install.

The 'stray' PTFs you need to install should be downloaded and available on
your system before you begin.  Most PTF packages include notations, "Load
stray PTFs here," and "Omit PTFs here."
