    Subject: questions about where to download the Maintenance Level
    packages and about patches

    Hello

    Where are the Maintenance Level packages for 5.1?
    They used to be easy to find on IBM's website.
    Maybe the link was right in front of me but I just
    didn't see it.

    Where can I find the patches recommended for AIX 5.1
    running Oracle 9i( 9.2.04)? I've googled for "oracle 91"
    with "aix 5.1" with "instfix" or "lpar" and found nothing.
    I'd like to find the web page which has the official list
    but will take what I can get from this list. Is it possible
    none are needed?

    Also, should I switch to SVr4 printing? Is it as good as
    the old chimera printing system?

    Much Thanks!
    Mike
