FILE INFORMATION:
The hot fix bundle that is downloaded is in tar format and contains all
individual hot fix packages that were available for download at the time
that the bundle was created.
The name of the tar file is
e9bx05lx.tar
In these instructions, the directory where SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) is installed
is:
/usr/lib/sas913
If any of the individual hot fixes included in the bundle have already been
applied to your system, the hot fix will not be re-applied. The following
message will be displayed for each hot fix that has already been
applied:
Checking Package: e9ba##lx.tar
HotFix E9BA##LX has already been successfully installed.

INSTALLATION STEPS:
Step 1: Extract the contents of the downloaded hot fix bundle to a
temporary directory. For example:

assuming the bundle was downloaded to the installer's $HOME directory
The tar command will create a directory named e9bx05 that contains
all of the individual hot fix packages that will be installed.
Step 2: Login as the same userid that installed SAS and invoke the SAS Setup
