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

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for MTAAACP on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  A possible system crash occurs during Host Based RAID Unbinds
     with MME code enabled.  A mailbox read synchronization problem
     causes the crash.

     This problem only occurs when a host-based RAID UNBIND command
     is done while an MME-based application is running.

     This problem may occur in several different code areas of the
     operating system.  In order to get eliminate all known
     instances of this problem, the following remedial kits (or
     their supersedants) will also need to be installed:

       ALPSYSA02_071
       ALPBACK03_071
       ALPDISM01_071
       ALPINIT01_071
       ALPMOUN05_071
