TITLE: BASIC BASAE02013 DEC BASIC V1.3 for OpenVMS Alpha ECO Summary
 
NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
       for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
 
       Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
       can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DEC BASIC V1.3 on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.2. 
This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in BASAE02013

  o  Compiling with the %INCLUDE %FROM %CDD directive on EV6
     hardware causes the compiler to loop indefinitely.


Problems Addressed in BASAE01013

  o  Compiling with /OPTIMIZE causes extraneous Uninitialized variable
     messages to be issued, and memory management violations (ACCVIOs) at
     runtime. 

  o  Compiling with /LIST/CROSS qualifiers in effect causes the compiler
     to abort with ACCVIO.  Any combination of listing qualifiers which
     includes /LIST combined with /NOSEPARATE qualifier (the default) can
     cause this problem. 

  o  Compiling with /OPTIMIZE can result in an ACCVIO in GEM_SE_FIND_EFF.
