    This file documents the fixed defects and remaining limitations associated with the Patch 4 release of AFS(R) 3.6 (build level afs3.6 2.32).

    This document has the following sections:

    For UNIX systems, you use the same procedure to install a patch distribution as to upgrade from a previous release. See the upgrade instructions in the AFS Release Notes.

    For Windows systems, patches can be installed directly to the base 3.6 product or over any previous patches. The AFS for Windows installation program displays a series of dialog boxes that lead you through the installation process. Follow the directions in each dialog box and select the appropriate options.
