ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DECwindows Motif V1.2-5 on OpenVMS VAX 5.5-2, 
5.5-2H4, 6.2, 7.1, and 7.2.  

New Functionality:

  o  This kit provides Euro sign support for OpenVMS DECwindows 
     Motif Version 1.2-5.  After installing the kit and performing 
     the setup, you can enter and display the Euro sign on OpenVMS 
     DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-5 running on supported versions 
     of OpenVMS.

  o  Once Euro support is enabled on your system, you can display
     the Euro sign with any ISO8859-1 bitmap font on your
     workstation, with no additional setup.  

     DECwindows applications that use standard Latin 1 fonts to 
     display text will automatically display the Euro sign for 
     character 0xA4.  The character set part of the XLFD name of 
     these Latin 1 fonts is ISO8859-1.  To display the Euro sign 
     in a DECterm window, be sure the following two items are 
     selected in the DECterm General Options dialog box:

       -  UPSS ISO Latin 1

       -  8-Bit Multinational Characters

  o  Once Euro support is enabled, you can enter the Euro sign on
     your workstation with any keyboard attached to your system
     without any additional setup.

     If you use an LK4**-** LK-type keyboard with a *LK401* keymap,
     enter the Euro sign using a LeftCompose + E key sequence; that
     is, press the E key while holding down the LeftCompose key.

     If you use a PC-type keyboard, such as LK44*-**, PCXA*-**, or
     LK97W-**, with a *LK44* keymap, enter the Euro sign using a
     RightAlt + E key sequence.

             LK style                PC style
             ---------------         -------------
             LeftCompose + E         RightAlt + E

     If you use an LK201-** keyboard and keymap, enter the Euro
     sign using the same key sequence you use for the currency
     sign.  For example:

           Compose+Space o x   or   Compose+Space O X
           Compose+Space x o   or   Compose+Space X O
           Compose+Space 0 x   or   Compose+Space 0 X
           Compose+Space x 0   or   Compose+Space X 0

     Note that the RUSSIAN_LK401_BT keymap does not support the
     LeftCompose + E key sequence.

     The POLISH_LK401_BT keymap supports Euro input using the
     LeftCompose + U key sequence.

     If you have been entering compose characters with LeftCompose
     key or RightCompose key, you can continue entering the compose
     characters with RightCompose key after installing the Euro
     kit.

  o  To display and edit the Euro sign in the DECTPU DECwindows
     interface, specify the ISO Latin 1 character set as follows:

       $ EDIT/TPU/INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS/CHARACTER_SET=ISO_LATIN1

Optional Euro-Locale Support:

  o  After Motif Euro support is enabled, a character code 0xA4 is
     always displayed because the Euro sign and the key sequence to
     enter the Euro sign is always in effect, regardless of the
     process's locale and codeset.

     Euro-locale support by the DEC C Run-Time Library is not
     necessary for OpenVMS Motif Euro support.  However, if you
     want to run Motif applications in Euro-locale, you must
     install Euro-locale support, which is included in the
     following kits:

       OpenVMS VAX Version 7.2        VMSI18N072
       OpenVMS VAX Version 7.1        VAXVMSI18N01_071
       OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2        VAXVMSI18N01_062
       OpenVMS VAX Version 5.5-2      N/A

     For customer convenience, kit VMSI18N072 ships on the OpenVMS
     Version 7.2 kit.

Known Issues in the VAXDWEUR01_U5012 Kit:

  o  When a Euro sign is pasted or sent to another window
     application on a different platform (such as UNIX) using
     Compound Text format, the character may not be recognized as a
     Euro sign on the other platform.

  o  If a DECwindows Motif language variant kit, such as Japanese or
     Hebrew, is installed, the Euro sign is not supported.

  o  The Euro sign is not provided in DECwindows scalable fonts.
     Applications using scalable fonts cannot display the Euro
     sign.

  o  You can use EDT to enter Euro characters using EDT's special
     insert function with the character code, but the Euro may not
     display correctly on the screen while you are using the EDT
     editor.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is 
installed.  However, DECwindows should be shutdown and restarted 
in order for all kit changes to take effect.     

The installation procedure does not enable Euro support functionality.  
To enable it, perform the following postinstallation setup:

  o  Copy SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE to
     SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM and add the following 
     line in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM so that it calls 
     SYS$MANAGER:DECW$EURO_SERVER_SETUP.COM:

       $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$EURO_APPS_SETUP.COM

  o  Copy SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE to
     SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.  In the 
     DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM file, find the label
     FINAL_SETUP_ENTRY: and add the following line just after
     that label:

       $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$EURO_SERVER_SETUP.COM

Restart DECwindows using the following command after you have successfully 
completed the steps outlined in the previous two sections.

  $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART

If you have other DECwindows X11 display servers (Workstations) in an 
OpenVMS Cluster system, you should also restart DECwindows on those 
systems to make use of the new images.
