  INSTALLATION.  PLEASE REFER TO AND FOLLOW THE INSTALL
  PROCEDURE IN THE VSE/PT PROGRAM DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONS MANUAL
  (PDOM) (SH20-2171-6), PAGE 151.  THE $$$VSEPT MODULE IS NO
  LONGER NEEDED, AND IS NOT ON THE REFRESH TAPE.  IF YOUR
  VSE/PT PDOM HAS NOT BEEN UPGRADED WITH THE JULY 1, 1988 TNL,
  ALL JCL ON PAGE 152 CAN BE IGNORED.  ***WARNING*** :
  IF THE JOB ON PAGE 152 WHICH IS USED TO LOAD THE $$$VSEPT
  PHASE IS ACCIDENTALLY RUN, IT MAY CAUSE AN I/O LOOP OR A
  CPU LOOP IN THE START-UP PARTITION AND THE LOOP CANNOT
  BE CANCELLED.
     AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE, VERIFICATION THAT THE
  VSE/PT R224 REFRESH CODE IS INSTALLED (INSTEAD OF THE BASE
  CODE - VSE/PT R224 WITHOUT APARS ALREADY APPLIED) CAN BE DONE
  BY DOING THE FOLLOWING:
     1.  RUN A LIBR LIST OF THE DOSVSESA PHASE.
     2.  IF AT X'00885C' YOU FIND X'47201020',
          YOU HAVE THE 'REFRESH' CODE INSTALLED.
     3.  IF AT X'00885C' YOU FIND X'47000000',
          YOU HAVE THE 'REFRESH' INSTALLED AND GB00144 APPLIED.
     4.  IF AT X'008874' YOU FIND X'47201020'
          YOU HAVE THE 'BASE' CODE INSTALLED.
  IF THE ABOVE PROVES THAT BASE CODE IS INSTALLED, THE VSE/PT
  R224 REFRESH SHOULD BE ORDERED FROM THE S.E. (SEE BELOW).
     IF THE ALREADY APPLIED FIXES ON THE REFRESH ARE ATTEMPTED
  TO BE APPLIED AGAIN (SOMEONE NOT REALIZING THEY HAVE THE
  REFRESH APPLIED), THE CUSTOMER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VERIFY THE
  CORRECT CODE AT THE LOCATION ON THE PRE-REFRESH APARS.
  ( CAN NOT VERIFY FIX - FIXES ). THE ABOVE DESCRIBED ALGORITHM
  FOR VERIFYING 'BASE' OR 'REFRESH' CODE SHOULD BE USED.
     IF DOMESTIC CUSTOMERS FOR ANY REASON HAVE NOT BEEN SHIPPED
  THE VSE/PT REFRESH, THEY CAN CONTACT THEIR S.E. OR MARKETING
  REPRESENTATIVE.  THEIR S.E. OR MARKETING REP SHOULD CALL THE
  I.S.D. ORDER CONTROL AREA ON TIE LINE 8-528-7860 REQUESTING
