How to Download MAE 2.0.2

ftp.support.apple.com (130.43.6.3)
www.mae.apple.com (17.255.216.51)

These patches can be obtained from the following directory on the server: /pub/mae/patches/mae_patch_2.0.2

IMPORTANT: Make sure you use FTP "binary transfer" mode to get the following files.

/pub/mae/patches/mae_patch_2.0.2/README.PATCH.MAE2.0.2 - This file contains complete details on what is contained in the patch release as well as how to download and install the patches.

/pub/mae/patches/mae_patch_2.0.2/maepatch2.0.2.hp.tar - The most recent incremental update for MAE 2.0 running HP-UX 9.x on HP Series 700 workstations.

/pub/mae/patches/mae_patch_2.0.2/maepatch2.0.2.hp10.tar - The most recent incremental update for MAE 2.0 running HP-UX 10.01 on HP Series 700 workstations.

/pub/mae/patches/mae_patch_2.0.2/maepatch2.0.2.sun.tar - The most recent incremental update for MAE 2.0 running on Sun SPARC workstations.

Download the appropriate file for your workstation. Please note, the tar files are compressed internally and did not require further compression using `compress' or a similar utility.

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.
