NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       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
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
       can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for IO_ROUTINES on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through
V6.2-1H1. This kit addresses the following problems:

Problems Addressed in ALPSYS03_062 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1,
  V6.1-1H1 and V6.1-1H2:

  o  A DCL 'SHOW SECURITY/CLASS=DEVICE' command will generate an
     access violation (ACCVIO) and cause the system to crash.

     This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2.


Problems Addressed in ALPSYS03_062 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 and
  V6.2-1H1:

  o  A privilege violation will occur when an unprivileged
     program attempts use the MSCP Express I/O modifier.


Problems Addressed in ALPSYS03_062 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1,
  V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2, V6.2 and V6.2-1H1:

  o  Occasional crashes may occur in IOC$DISMOUNT with an INCONSTATE 
     or SSRVEXCEPT bugcheck.

     This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.


Problems Addressed in AXPSYS03_061:

  o  A process will loop in kernel mode, holding the IO Database 
     mutex.  The problem can be reproduced by sending mail to 
     yourself on a workstation after creating and deleting the 
     message window.

     This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted.  If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the
entire cluster should be rebooted.
