This will be filled in over time...

Example name: XWB-1p1_SEQ-10_PAT-11.kid

XWB is package name

SEQ-10 means this is the 10th sequence number

Patch-11 means this is patch number 11

Because multiple teams may be working on a project, occasionally patch 4 might come out before patch 3. Thus the sequence numbers were introduced, to ensure proper ordering.

To make a long story short, install the KID patches in numerical SEQUENCE NUMBER ordering.

I think the KIDS menu option is under EVE->Programm->KID

Patches have to be first loaded, then applied Always read the .TXT file that accompanies a patch (.kid). This will tell the special conditions that should be met before applying a patch.
