HP Services Software Patches - vaxdism01_u2055
    NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
           on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
           The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
           for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.

           Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
           by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
           be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
           can be used to install the ECO.
