A service pack can be downloaded from an online library or installed from a distribution cartridge that contains all fixes to previously known problems as well as some previously fixed by individual PTFs. Beginning with the FOCUS 7.2 release service packs became available. For your convenience, all prior service packs applicable to FOCUS 7.6 are included in the current service pack, ensuring that your installation will be fully up to date.

Each new service pack preserves any PTFs already applied and includes PTFs released up to its published date. After applying a service pack, typing ? PTF at the FOCUS prompt displays all PTFs applied to date, plus the PTF number representing this service pack.
