Hewlett-Packard routinely responds to defect reports by creating HP-UX software "patches." Access to
these HP-UX patches is available via free subscription to a special e-mail address on the Internet called,
"HP Electronic Support Center." This service is also accessible via the World Wide Web, CompuServe,

patch service offers you:
• Patch notification digests sent automatically when they are published.
• An archive list of patches issued prior to subscription.
• Copies of the HP SupportLine User's Guide.
