          o  The Installation Guide states that BEFORE you install WPS-
             PLUS software on an alternate disk, you must have 16,000 free
             blocks available on the alternate disk.

             This is incorrect. The up-to-date figures are 17,500 free
             blocks needed BEFORE installation on the alternate disk.

          o  The Installation Guide states that AFTER installation, WPS-
             PLUS software uses 6,000 blocks on the system disk and 16,000
             blocks on the alternate disk.

             This is incorrect. The up-to-date figures are that AFTER
             installation, WPS-PLUS software uses 4,500 blocks on the
             system disk and 17,500 blocks on the alternate disk.

             of WPS-PLUS software require an additional 1,200 blocks on
             the disk you install them on.

             components of WPS-PLUS software require an additional 1,500
             blocks on the disk you install them on.
