Greetings!

Well, thanks to everyone who responded and
*especially* Ed Coty we figured it out.  Ed was right on
the money with his solution and put up with countless
followup emails from me asking him further questions.

Anyway here is the solution:
We had to download all of these patches individually:
NSTFDK9A, MPELX31C and MPEJXN9B.  We unpacked these, went into
PATCH\iX and qualified them.  MPEKXY0C and MPEJXN9B both came bundled
with NSTFDK9A because it is dependent upon those two patches.
As you can figure out when I went to qualify the patches in Patch\iX
there were four patches, NSTFDK9A, MPELX31C, MPEJXN9B and MPEKXY0C.
The first three qualified without any problems but the fourth did not.
The good news is, that is not a problem.  MPEKXY0C was superceeded by
MPELX31C therefore we did not need it nor did we want it.  We then cut
the CSLT without a problem.

Again, thanks to Ed Coty (who had prior frustrations with this *exact*
same situation) we were able to get the CSLT tape made.  All that is
left is for the customer to update his system.

Thanks again to all,

Barry Durand

Greetings to all,

We have a client on MPE 5.5 PP7  who is now trying to apply the following patch: NSTFDK9A.
This patch is to prevent an abort if a network printer runs out of
paper or is otherwise unavailable.  This patch comes with two
pre-requisites MPEJXN9B and MPEKXY0C.

MPEJXN9B is already installed on his system. MPEKXY0C has not been
installed on his system  and it disqualifies because it can not verify patch
components.  This patch gets a MISMATCH on IODEFAULT.PUB.SYS,
STORE.PUB.SYS and FSSEG1,S,00.

The patch NSTFDK9A does not qualify because its dependencies do not
qualify.

Another note is that patch MPEKXY0C has been superceeded by MPELX31C
and I believe that it has been installed on his system.

I was hoping that someone may have run into a similar situation or may have
ideas of how to resolve this difficulty.  Any suggestions or questions are more
than welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Barry Durand
