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 DEBUG on OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. This kit
addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU07_070 kit
o There are no new problem fixes in this kit. The kit is being
re-issued as a single version kit. If you have installed the
ALPDEBU01_071 remedial kit, you do not need to install the
ALPDEBU07_070 kit.
Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU01_071 Kit:
o Build the debugger against Motif V1.2-3 and provide workarounds
in the debugger for bugs which are currently fixed in Motif V1.2-4.
Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU06_070 Kit:
o HELP file was not included in the ALPDEBU05_070 ECO kit.
Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU03_070 ECO Kit (V7.0 Only):
o The debugger may hang with DECthreads and kernel threads enabled.
Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU02_070 Kit:
o On startup, DEBUG occasionally fails with an ACCVIO on some Alpha
programs.
Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU01_070 Kit (V7.0 Only):
o Japanese users report that the Debug GUI does not support
Kana-Kanji conversions.
o Source view line numbers are not visible on Alpha systems running
CDE and Motif V1.2.4.
o It is difficult to debug problems in the Heap Analyzer (HA) kernel,
especially problems during startup.
o HA main was failing to display error messages to SYS$OUTPUT when
appropriate. In particular, when DECW$DISPLAY was not set properly,
HA main failed to inform the user of its inability to run.
o User Interface Language (UIL) files contained names > 31 characters
long which cause UIL compilation failures on V7.0.
o Applications linked with PTHREAD$RTL go into an infinite loop when
run with the Heap Analyzer (HA) and with kernel threads enabled.
o Narrow the window between when DEBUG gains control and the call to
the threads facility to stop task scheduling.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your OpenVMS VMScluster, they should
be rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in order to
make use of the new image(s).
