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 DECwindows SNA Terminal Emulator for OpenVMS V2.1
on OpenVMS V6.2 through V7.2.

Problems addressed in the SNADWTE_E01021 kit:

  o  Access Violation After SNALU62$DEACTIVATESESSION Issued

        An ACCVIO would occur when the application tries to perform a
        reconnect, for example, when the remote IBM becomes unavailable. 
        This would occur while using VMS/SNA as a gateway.  It was 
        caused by the session block no longer being available or the 
        receive buffer having been deallocated.

        Please note that the above title in the Release Notes should read
        "Access violation after an attempt to reconnect".  This will be 
        corrected in the next release.


  o  Connecting With The TCP Transport Would Fail

        As a connection is being established, the sequence of transports
        (default order is Local, DECnet and TCP) is tried.  If one 
        transport fails, the subsequent transports would also fail.  
        This problem has been corrected.


  o  Isolated Pacing Response (IPR) Not Being Processed Would Cause Hang

        When an IPR was received, and there are no receives outstanding, 
        the pacing state was not being set properly.  This led to a hang 
        in the application after the pacing window was exhausted.
  

  o  Added Support For The Local Transport On The OpenVMS Alpha Platform

        This will enable local users to connect to Compaq SNA Server 
        without using a network connection.  This is similar to OpenVMS 
        VAX local users connections to VMS/SNA.  

           Example:  $SET HOST/SNA 0.


  o  Transmit Byte Count Exceeds Buffer Length Error

        Fixed a problem where the connection failed to a gateway because 
        the terminal ID was longer than 32 bytes.  The following error 
        was returned:

           %SNA-E-INVTRMPAR, invalid authterm parameter
           -SNA-E-LENTOOLON, transmit byte count exceeds buffer length


  o  TE Crashed When The Shift Key And Any Alphanumeric Key Was Pressed

        This was due to an DECC compiler problem.  This problem has been
        corrected.



INSTALLATION NOTES:
