OpenVMS ALPBASR02_070 Alpha V6.2 - V7.0 BASRTL ECO Summary
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 DEC$BASRTL.EXE OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V7.0.
This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in ALPBASR02_070:
o A BASIC program may ACCVIO or hang in an infinite loop in
DEC$BASRTL if AST calls a BASIC routine.
Problems addressed in ALPBASR01_070:
o The last build got a link warning from another facility.
Problems addressed in ALPBASR02_062:
o Did not properly account for linked chain of XABs, some of
which needed virtual memory to be freed.
Problems addressed in ALPBASR01_062:
o Matrix multiply of D-Float types always produces integer
results.
o The lib$signal of an error produced a fatal and aborted
program, preventing other handlers' recovery.
o Lib$signal caused program to lose local dynamic store, and
execute incorrect code.
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).
