       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

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for VAX TDMS V1.9A on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through V7.1.
This kit addresses the following problem: 

  o  TDMS will always translate 2-digit-year input to the current
     century on the system clock. At the turn of the century, ALL
     2-digit-year dates will be processed as the 21st century.

     This ECO provides a method of modifying the behavior of TDMS
     enabling customers to control how 2-digit-year dates are 
     translated.  This sliding window capability will be implemented 
     by the use of a logical name.

     In consulting with customers, we believe this sliding window
     feature will significantly decrease the burden on our customers
     to insure correct application operation into the next millennium.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted in order for the corrections
