Applying the Patch:

 1)  Extract the patch:

     On a Unix system:

     Extract the contents into a scratch directory.  For the purpose
     of this release note, assume that the symbol $PATCH points to
     this directory.

        # cd $PATCH
        # tar xvf 3.6.2-CLL-0006.tar

     On a Windows NT system:

     Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
     of this release note, assume that the symbol %PATCH% points to
     this directory.

        > %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env
        > X:
          ^-- 'X' is drive letter where %PATCH% is found
        > cd %PATCH%
        > tar xvf 3.6.2-CLL-0006.tar
