Symptoms:
	PHCO_18437:
	Repackaged HP-UX patch PHCO_13753 for VVOS.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHCO_13753:
	- The remove_patches tool is intended to supplement the new
	  patch functionality of 11.0 SD.  The tool is the swremove
	  counterpart of swinstall using the patch filter.  It will
	  aid in the removal of patches, according to category
	  tags, from the large bundles that will be delivered as
	  part of 11.0's release plan.
	- The cleanup utility can serve two purposes.  First, it is
	  used to remove 10.X patches from the Installed Product
	  Database after updating to HP-UX 11.X.  Second, it is
	  also used to remove patches from a software depot if the
	  patches have been superseded by patches also available in
	  the same depot.
	- The HP-UX 11.X Patch Program White Paper is intended to
	  provide information, to system administrators, regarding
	  the 11.X patch structure as well as information on how to
	  acquire, install, check, commit and remove patches.  It
	  also provides information on depot management and
	  installing patches from a depot.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_18437:
	Repackaged HP-UX patch PHCO_13753 for VVOS.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHCO_13753:
	- As of 11.0, SD allows the filtering of installation of
	  patches with category tags.  This filtering is not part
	  of the removal capability (swremove).  The remove_patches
	  tool is being provided to allow patches to be removed
	  according to a specific category tag. By default, the tool
	  will remove all but the critical and hardware_enablement
	  patches.
	- The cleanup utility is being provided to allow the removal
	  of patches belonging to HP-UX 10.X after a system has been
	  updated to HP-UX 11.X.  It is also being provided to allow
	  the removal of superseded patches from a depot.
	Resolution:
	Ported HP-UX patch PHCO_13753.
