IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.  You must have Release 8.1 (TS1M0) installed on your system before 
     applying this hot fix.



AFTER DOWNLOADING:

The following instructions describe the steps for replacing the sasiormt
executable.  In this example, the directory where Release 8.1 (TS1M0)
is installed is:

      /usr/lib/sas8


STEP 1:
Assuming the tar file is downloaded to the user's HOME directory, follow 
these procedures to install the package.

      $> cd /usr/lib/sas8
      $> tar xf $HOME/81ba04ar.tar
           

STEP 2:
Back up the original sasiormt executable (assuming you are still in the 
/usr/lib/sas8 directory):

      $> mv sasexe/sasiormt sasexe/sasiormt.1m0


STEP 3:
Once the tar command is complete, the following line must be added as the 
first line of the !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg file:

      -path !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe


STEP 4:
Change the ownership (using the chown command) and permissions (using
the chmod command) on the files in the !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe directory 
to match the ownership and permissions on the files in the 
!SASROOT/sasexe directory.


This completes the installation of hot fix 81BA04 on AIX/6000.
