NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
 
       For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
       file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
       kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
       saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
       saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
 
       For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
       rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
       be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi.  The resultant
       file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
       the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for OpenVMS/Thai V7.2 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1H1.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  This kit is installed on Compaq AlphaServer GS160 systems 
     running the Compaq OpenVMS/Thai Alpha Version 7.2 with Compaq
     OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-1H1. This provides Compaq Open VMS/Thai 
     Alpha support for the following new functionality:

       +  Hard partitions on Compaq AlphaServer GS160 systems

       +  Compaq OpenVMS Galaxy configuration on Compaq AlphaServer
          GS160 systems

       +  Compaq OpenVMS Resource Affinity Domain (RAD) support for
          applications

       +  Fibre Channel OpenVMS Cluster shared storage interconnect
          support for Compaq OpenVMS Galaxy configurations

       +  A Spinlock Trace Utility

       +  Record Management Service locking enhancements

  o  The LIB$CREATE_DIR function in the Compaq OpenVMS/Thai LIBRTL
     utility cannot be called from a thread. 

       Image(s) Affected:  [SYSLIB]LIBRTL.EXE

  o  Thai print symbiont will go into 100% compute loop when the
     printer queue re-starts printing (after a pause queue) with a
     search for a string. The problem is fixed in this kit.

       Image(s) Affected:   
         [SYSEXE]THAIPRTSMB.EXE
         [SYSLIB]THAISMBSHR.EXE

  o  This new DCL provides a fix to a problem in UNSTACK when this
     command is used to "unstack" back to procedure level zero in
     BATCH mode. Also, a new lexical for RAD SYI items is introduced
     in Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-1H1. Compaq OpenVMS/Thai DCL
     has been enhanced to support this feature.

       Image(s) Affected:  [SYSEXE]DCL.EXE
