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 LAT on OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. This kit addresses the       
following problems:


  o  LATACP crashes with PGFIPLHI

  o  LTDRIVER crashes with INVEXCEPTN                                   
                                                                    
  o  Some applications use break, through  the  system  service,  to    
     write to their numerous terminals at the same time.  When LATCP    
     is running, the management LTA device created by LATCP is  also    
     broadcast  to.   This  slows  done the application to the point    
     where the application exhausts its byte limit                      
                                                                    
  o  An MC LATCP CREATE PORT command with  an  invalid  device  name    
     will crash the system.                                             
                                                                    
  o  Set Host/LAT fails between nodes in the same cluster.              

  o  VCRP packets are being overwritten.

  o  CREATE LINE LINK$NAME/DEV=XXA0:  command in  LATCP  can  crash
     the system.

  o  After executing the following commands:

             LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE1/APPL
             LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE2/APPL
             LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE3/APPL
             LATCP> DELETE SERVICE SERVICE2
             LATCP> SET SERVICE SERVICE3/STATIC_RATING=1

     the static ratings for services following SERVICE2 can  not  be
     changed.

be rebooted.  If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire
