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 the DCL command 'SET' on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through
V5.5-2HF.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the VAXCLIU03_U2055 Kit:

  o  These OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 problem corrections were included in the
     multi-version VAXCLIU02_070 remedial kit.  They are now being issued
     as a V5.5* only remedial kit. 

     There are no new problem corrections in this remedial kit.


Problems Addressed in the VAXCLIU01_062 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2,
V5.5-2H4, V5.5-2HF:

  o  The index file of a disk can become corrupted.  Closer examination
     of the index file will show that a large number of blocks in the
     index file, at contiguous VBNs from the start of the file, will have
     two words corrupted in the file at offsets 0x3a and 0x1FE.  These
     correspond to the locations of checksum1 and checksum2 in a volume
     home block (homeblock). 

     NOTE:  In order to receive this full fix, the VAXVERI01_071 ECO kit
            must also be installed on your system. 


Problems Addressed in the VAXCLIU01_U2055 Kit:

  o  If a user with OPER privileges issues either one of the following
     DCL commands, the system will crash with a fatal bugcheck:

          SET TERMINAL/PROTOCOL=NONE RTA0
     or
          SET TERMINAL/PROTOCOL=DDCMP RTA0

     This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V6.1.


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).
