A. See table below. All directories are off offtp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt40.Just click on the file name for a direct FTP link For people in Europeftp.sunet.se/pub3/vendor/microsoft/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixesmay provide faster access.
There are also Microsoft BBS numbers where Service Packs can be downloadedfrom, e.g. for the UK it is 44 1734 270065, however the fixes tend to be a fewdays later than on the FTP site.

The file names above are for the Intel platform (hence the ending I), butthey may also be available for Alpha and PPC, just substitute the I for aA(Alpha) or P(PPC).
I should note a health warning, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"and I would tend to agree with this, so unless you have a problem, or require anew feature of a Service Pack think if you really want it. Also if you aregoing to apply it to a live system, try and test it first, as sometimes aService Pack will introduce new problems.
