Patching Instructions
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.
