                 PARTIAL     An upgrade to currently installed
                             software. Installation of this kit
                             changes the version of the product.

                 PATCH       A correction to currently installed
                             software. Installation of this kit does

                             (also called a product suite).

                             recorded in the product database
                             (for example, a product installed by
                             VMSINSTAL). This kit does not provide
                             product material.
