Thanks to all for their replies. I believe that I have found an elegant
solution. Here are the instructions we'll be giving to our customers. I hope
someone else out there finds this information useful!


1. Receive patch from our website on a PC with a CD burner.

2. Copy the file to a CD, being certain to specify a Volume ID and filename
in ALL UPPERCASE. (For this example, a Volume ID of "VOLUME" has been used)

3. Load the CD into the AS/400.

4. Determine the AS/400 filename of the file on the CD by using the WRKLNK
command as follows:

WRKLNK OBJ('/QOPT')

Select option 5 next to QOPT
Select option 5 next to the Volume ID
Note the filename
(For this example, a filename of C1P250~1.SVF has been used)

5. Create a savefile on the AS/400 (For this example, LIBRARY/SAVF is the
name of the savefile)

6. Run the CPYFRMSTMF command as follows:

CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('/QOPT/VOLUME/C1P250~1.SVF')
TOMBR('/QSYS.LIB/LIBRARY.LIB/SAVF.FILE') MBROPT(*REPLACE)

Replace VOLUME with your Volume ID
Replace C1P250~1.SVF with your filename
Replace LIBRARY with the library name that your savefile is in
Replace SAVF with the name of your savefile

7. RSTOBJ from the savefile as per the standard patch installation
instructions.

Look
at  http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/199912/threads.html#01499   I
like the REXX suggestion :)  but I would have to say the SNDNETF, if you
they have SNADS running would be better.
