Extracting the Patch Files From the Downloaded File

Place the tar file anywhere. Extract it by running the following command:

On HP-UX 9.x Workstations:

% tar xovf maepatch2.0.2.hp.tar

On HP-UX 10.01 Workstations:

% tar xovf maepatch2.0.2.hp10.tar

On Sun Workstations:

% tar xovf maepatch2.0.2.sun.tar

The extracted files will be placed in a new directory named "maepatch2.0.2.sun",

"maepatch2.0.2.hp", or "maepatch2.0.2.hp10" depending on your system type. Once the extraction is complete, you can delete the downloaded file maepatch2.0.2.*.tar.
