ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for the INSTALL Utility on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2

Problems fixed in VAXINST2_U2055:

  o  In a VAXcluster environment with multi-processor CPUs,
     system crashes may occur if the INSTALL utility is
     used concurrently on more than one CPU.  

Problems fixed in VAXINST01_U2055:

  o  Under certain conditions, the Known File Entry (KFE) list can 
     become corrupted. If this happens, various ACCVIO-related 
     crashes can occur from the image activator and/or INSTALL. The 
     problem also manifests itself as INSTALL hanging.
                                                      
     This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V6.0.


INSTALLATION NOTES:
