ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DIGITAL Extended Math Library V3.3A on
on DIGITAL UNIX V3.0 through V4.0D.  This kit addresses the following
problems: 


  o  The script that executes the IVP tests after installing
     the parallel development subset (XMRPLL331) neglected to                
     set the PARALLEL environment variable.  When the parallel               
     DXML library was installed on a uniprocessor platform                   
     running Digital UNIX V4.0D, the IVP tests never completed.              
     The IVP scripts in this ECO Release fix this problem.                   
                                                                    
  o  The IVP test executables had been constructed by linking
     against the DXML library before installation.  They verified
     the contents of the DXML library, but not that the DXML
     library installed correctly.  The IVP test executables
     in this ECO Release verify the newly-installed DXML library.   
                                                                    
  o  The installation script for the serial run-time subset
     (XMRLOA331) had a test that was too restrictive, and
     consequently misidentified certain CPU types.  The user
     sometimes had to override the choice of DXML library
     (EV-4 vs EV-5) to be installed.  The installation script
     in this ECO Release fixes this problem.

  o  The installation scripts that construct the shared serial
     and parallel DXML libraries had a problem.  The serial               
     (XMRLOA331) and parallel (XMRPLL331) subset installation             
     scripts always included special math libraries that have             
     become part of the system libm in newer releases of                  
     Digital UNIX.  This led to "duplicate definition" warnings           
     under some circumstances.  The installation scripts in               
     this ECO Release fix this problem.                                   


INSTALLATION NOTES:

You need approximately 55 megabytes of disk space to install both
DXML subsets. After installation, the disk space requirements are
as follows:

  o  Serial library - 12 megabytes

  o  Parallel library - 15 megabytes
