Installation

Unzip the archive to a location on your hard drive. The patch is structured
by Dynamic C version and as an overlay to your existing installation.
To use the patch, simply copy the patch over your existing version of
Dynamic C to replace your existing files with the patched versions of the
same.

Recompililation Required

Recompilation of your existing application is required for all affected
products listed in the table above. In other words, if your product’s part
number is at the revision listed or a later revision, then you will need to
build a new binary image with the patched version of Dynamic C. Note that
the binary image will work with both new revision and older revisions of the
products.

Previous Versions of Dynamic C

Customers using previous versions of Dynamic C must upgrade to the
version listed in the table above in order to use the patch.
