          5  Problems Addressed in This Kit

          5.1  System Support

          This kit is to enable OpenVMS/Hanzi Alpha Version 7.2 run on
          OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-1, so that OpenVMS/Hanzi Alpha can
          support the following new Alpha systems: Compaq AlphaServer
          GS60, GS60e, GS140, ES40, DS20, DS10, and Compaq AlphaStation
          XP900 workstation.

          5.2  HMAIL

          The OpenVMS/Hanzi HMAIL utility, starting with V7.0, if a user
          attempt to forward a foreign file, the FORWARD command would
          fail and the user is returned to the HMAIL> prompt. No message
          of any kind is displayed. It has been modified to correctly
          allow forwarding of foreign files.

          Image(s) Affected:    [HSYEXE]HMAIL.EXE

          5.3  SHOW

          OpenVMS Registry introduces a new DCL command, SHOW SERVER, to
          show the current status of the OpenVMS Registry on a specified
          node in OpenVMS V7.2-1. As a result, OpenVMS/Hanzi V7.2 is run-
          ning on the OpenVMS V7.2-1, the SHOW utility will only display
          the message number, instead of the message if users use the com-
          mand "SHOW SERVER" to get the status of the server. The problem
          was fixed in this kit.

          Image(s) Affected:    [SYSMSG]CLIUTLMSG.EXE

                                [SYSMSG.HANZI]CLIUTLMSG.EXE

          5.4  DCL

          This new DCL attempts to fix a problem in UNSTACK when unstack
          back to procedure level zero in BATCH mode.

          Image(s) Affected:    [SYSEXE]DCL.EXE
