The instructions are less than clear.

1. how do you do a byte transfer with ftp.  My ftp client only supports
ASCII and binary.
2. it seems that the user should transfer this file into the install
directory since the frombyte can create a file in another directory which
the restore will not find.

Please help me correctly download the file and correct this problem.

Subject:        6.0 Express 1 Alert -- Important

The following letter is being mailed to all customers who have received 6.0
Express 1:

=================================================

Dear Valued HP 3000 Customer:

Recently HP discovered a problem with autoled.install.sys (patch
installation linker) in MPE/iX Release 6.0 Express 1 (C.60.01 Express 1
PowerPatch). This has been characterized and a new released MPE Release 6.0
Express 1 is immediately available.

To keep you informed, we provide you with information on what to do when:

     1)  MPE Release 6.0 Express 1 has already been installed on your
           system or factory pre-loaded
     2)  MPE Release 6.0 Express 1 has not yet been installed on your
           system, but you have requested the media.

1)  What to do if MPE Release 6.0 Express 1 has Already Been Installed on
Your System

If you have already successfully installed MPE Release 6.0 Express 1, or if
your system was factory pre-loaded*  with MPE 6.0 Express 1, please follow
the instructions outlined below before installing any new patches:

     Visit the HP Information Technology Resource Center and download
     the latest version of Patch/iX

          a). Point your web browser to http://itresourcecenter.hp.com

          b). Click on "Individual Patches."

          c).  Sign in with your user ID/e-mail address and password. If you
do not yet
                have a user ID, use the "register now" link to create one.

          d). Click on "MPE/iX Patches." At the top of this page, click on
the "MPE/iX
                Patch Installation Guide." Under "Patch Installation Tools"
in the Overview
               section, click on the "Patch/iX Page."

          e).  Use the instructions on this page to download and install the
Patch/iX
                tool set for your release.

Installing the latest version of Patch/iX on your HP 3000 system running MPE
Release 6.0 Express 1  will ensure that future patch updates to your  system
will not be effected by the autoled.install.sys problem.

Note:

If you do not have access to the HP Information Technology Resource Center,
please request new MPE Release 6.0 Express 1 media from your Hewlett-Packard
support contact, referring to
     30216-11075 for DDS tapes,  or
     30216-11076/30216-11077 for 6250bpi, reel tapes
          both with date code: 3951


* To determine if your system has the C.60.01 Express1 PowerPatch installed,
print the file HPSWINFO.PUB.SYS.

         if line 4 shows  "POWERPATCH C6001 P6", your system has MPE 6.0
              Express 1 PowerPatch installed.


2)  What to do if MPE Release 6.0 Express 1 Has Not Yet Been Installed on
Your System

If you have not yet installed MPE Release 6.0 Express 1, please do not
install it.  Request new MPE Release 6.0 Express 1 media from your
Hewlett-Packard support contact, referring to
     30216-11075 for DDS tapes,  or
     30216-11076 / 30216-11077 for 6250bpi reel tapes,
          both with date code: 3951
.
==========================================================

I monitor comp.sys.hp.mpe daily, and I will be happy to respond to questions
or comments.  I would prefer responding on the newsgroup (as opposed to
e-mail) -- by posting to the newsgroups, others will have the benefit of our
discussions.
