PRINTING HISTORY
New editions are complete revisions of the manual. Update packages, which are issued between editions,
contain additional and replacement pages to be merged into the manual by
the customer. The dates on
the title page change only when a new edition or a new update is published. No information is
incorporated into a reprinting unless it appears as a prior update; the edition does not change when an
update is incorporated.
The software code printed alongside the date indicates the version level
of the software product at the
time the manual or update was issued. Many product updates and fixes do not require manual changes
and, conversely, manual corrections may be done without accompanying product changes. Therefore,
do
not expect a one to one correspondence between product updates and manual updates.
