OpenVMS VMS721_MIME-V0100 Alpha V7.2-1 MIME ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721_MIME-V0100 Alpha V7.2-1 MIME ECO Summary New Kit Date : 08-FEB-2001 Modification Date: Not Applicable Modification Type: New Kit 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. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 2000. All rights reserved. OP/SYS: OpenVMs Alpha COMPONENT: MIME SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: VMS721_MIME-V0100 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 368 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Rolling Re-boot Supported: No Installation Rating: INSTALL_2 2 - To be installed on all systems running the listed version(s) of OpenVMS. Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: o VMS721_UPATE-V0100 o VMS721_PCSI-V0100 In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for MIME on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems Addressed In VMS721_MIME-V0100: o The following problems were corrected in this MIME release: 1. Memory corruption occurred when using the OpenVMS MIME utility, especially when repeatedly opening and closing UUencoded files. 2. When composing a simple, single-part, MIME text message (with no attachments), the READ command would display properly until the file was saved, closed, and re-opened for reading. Then. extra headers for a text attachment would appear in the MIME header area, which resulted in an error: %MIME-E-OPNFILERR, 'error opening file' 3. When using MIME to compose messages, the resulting MIME file did not have its MIME message boundary parameter string properly quoted. The string is part of the 'Content-Type:' multipart-mixed header field. Consequently, the message may not be read correctly. 4. An ANALYZE/RMS error would occur, if used on the zero allocated block file created, but never written to, by composing a MIME 'NEW' Message. 5. Attachments can be removed, but not saved, for READ only messages. This behavior should not be allowed for READ only messages. 6. An ACCVIO error can occur when MIME attempts to display the VIEWER error message. This occurs when a MIME file is opened for which no viewer exists. 7. Multiple memory leaks occur when repeatedly opening and closing UUencoded files. This excessive use of memory resources may not be readily apparent to the user. 8. Extraneous files can be left behind by MIME, if the user performs a QUIT command, or after prompting and answering 'no' to a file save operation on EXIT. 9. The OPEN MIME command with the /NEW qualifier would fail, which is redundant with the NEW command. This was removed. 10. The MIME command OPEN would continue to parse for multiple files (up to eight), if none were specified with the OPEN command. The operation would usually fail with the following errors: %RMS-E-FNF, file not found %MIME-W-NOMSGOPEN, No currently active message 11. Multiple error messages with the same error would be returned, if the file which was attempted to be opened was not found. 12. If one NEW MIME message that is writeable was closed, and a NEW one specified, the old data file could display from the previous edit session. MIME was not cleaning up files during a close and not freeing memory. 13. File types (extensions), their Content-type/subtype and their encoding scheme optionally defined in MIME$FILETYPES.DAT file was not being read properly, nor would it allow error recovery. Also, an error message may not display when the file had errors. 14. Sometimes informational messages get overwritten when MIME exits with the DCL prompt. MIME HELP (MIME$HELP.HLB) and MIME commands (MIMECMD.CLD) were updated to reflect the above changes. Images Affected: [SYSEXE]MIME.EXE [SYSHLP]MIME$HELP.HLB INSTALLATION NOTES: No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit. Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software installation utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: PRODUCT INSTALL VMS721_MIME /SOURCE=[location of Kit] The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that contains the kit. Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
