OpenVMS ALPLINK01_062 Alpha V6.1 - 6.2-1H3 Linker 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 (patch) kit exists for LINK.EXE on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through

  o  When linking a large image, an access violation can occur if
     an image section reaches 65536 512-byte blocks in size.


Problems Fixed in AXPLINK02_061 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1:

  o  Linking an ADA application with the ADA Compilation System
     ("ACS") takes an unacceptably long time.  The fix contained
     in this kit will be of benefit only if the V3.2 DEC ADA Compiler

     the ADA Compiler.


Problems Fixed in AXPLINK01_061 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1:

  o  Modifications have been made to the linker to prevent removal
     of relocation or fixup information from the deferred list when
     the linker is in "debug" context.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your VMScluster, they should be
rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in order to
