ECO NUMBER: ADIVME0123 ----------- PRODUCT: DIGITAL ACMS Desktop -------- UPDATED PRODUCT: DIGITAL ACMS Desktop 2.3 ---------------- APPRX BLCK SIZE: 217 BYTES: 107535 ---------------- DIGITAL Cover Letter: ACMS Desktop Version 2.3 ECO1 for OpenVMS Problem Description ------------------- The ACMS Desktop DECnet dynamic-link library (ACMSDIDN.DLL) in this ECO kit fixes a problem that occurs when upgrading from Windows V3.1, or Windows V3.11 for Workgroups, to Windows 95. Generally Windows 95 executes sixteen-bit DLLs (created in the Windows 3.x environment) without problems. However, the DECnet DLL is an exception. When running the 16-bit version of ACMSDIDN.DLL under Windows 95, DECnet returns error code 13 when attempting to disconnect the socket. The socket remains connected and after several login/logout sequences, DECnet runs out of available connections and allows no more logins. Installation Overview --------------------- ACMS Desktop provides one self-extracting archive, ADIVME123.EXE, that contains the dynamic-link library file ACMSDIDN.DLL. This DLL is associated with the DECnet transport for the Windows V3.n portable client API for ACMS Desktop. To expand the archive, copy it to a clean directory on the PC, and execute it. The archive expands, and the resulting files can then be used. For example, on the PC: C:\ > CD ACMSDI C:\ > COPY A:\ADIVME123.EXE *.* C:\ > ADIVME123.EXE In addition to the DLL file, there is a text file that contains the release notes describing in detail this ECO (ADIVME123.TXT) If this is to be your working directory, add it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT startup file to the environment variables that define the paths for the libraries, include files and execution path, for example: set LIB=%LIB%;dir set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;dir set PATH=%PATH%;dir Copyright Digital Equipment Corporation 1997.
