[SunHELP] Patch installation problem

[Peter Stokes]

Hi

This worked if I unzipped

unzip 108528_13.zip

and then

patchadd 108528-13

Note the change in file name from 108528_13.zip to 108528-13, this was what
caused all of the problems in the first place as the windows unzip had
created a directory of 108528_13 instead of 108528-13.

Thanks

Peter
