In this case, PATCH.EXE will skip the files you have deleted. If you wish to replace a missing file, you must first reinstall from your master diskettes before applying the patch. 2) You have copied PATCH.EXE and the RTP patch file to the wrong directory or drive. In this case, verify the directory name in which you have installed and make sure PATCH.EXE and the RTP patch file on the same drive and in a directory above or equal to that installation. 3) When you installed you chose not to install one or more of the files that PATCH.EXE has attempted to patch. In this case, PATCH.EXE will skip the files you did not install. If you wish to add a missing file, you must first install from your master diskettes before applying the patch. PATCH.EXE will report the following message if it determines that a file does not need to be patched: New Version of File 'FILENAME' already exists. This may indicate one of the following cases: 1) You have purchased a recent copy of the software in which the software changes have already been introduced. 2) You have already applied the patch. In either case, PATCH.EXE has verified that your software is up to date and you need not take further action. error ept0001: Illegal Input Option '
