IMPORTANT NOTES

     1. All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must
        be terminated before applying this hot fix.
     2. The hot fix installer has a graphical user interface that requires
        the use of an X11 server. If an X11 server is not available at
        your site, the silent installation process described below may
        be used.
     3. SAS Hot Fixes are installed into new datasets after which they can be
        promoted to your production libraries. Several new datasets will be
        created in this process.
