ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for TP Desktop Connector V3.1 on Windows NT (Intel)
V4.0.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

o The TPware Add sample server code was not the same code that is in the
  ACMSxp V3.1 NT kit.

o The STDL compiler returned an error if the full path name of the
  STDL file to be compiled contained embedded spaces.

o When interfacing with ACMS, floating point numbers with a high degree
  of precision were not correctly converted from OpenVMS format to Windows NT
  format.

o The Output Adapter drop down list for the client builder utility did  
  not list the ACMS output adapter type.

o A client using the ACMS Desktop output adapter would spin if the TP 
  Desktop Connector Gateway was shut down or crashed while the client was 
  connected.

o Failure to define RPC_DEFAULT_ENTRY via an environment variable or the
  TPware management utility caused the DEC NSID process to crash.

o If a user was a member of many Windows NT groups, the TPware management
  GUI would fail to start.

o The MSRPC output adapter did not correctly handle the selection of
  multiple servers with the same interface if one of the servers was down.

o Binding Timeout if enabled did not work.

o Installing the Digital TP Desktop Connector and Digital Portable TP or
  Digital Application Optimizer caused the Digtal TP Desktop Connector to
  fail at runtime.

o The STDL compiler allowed numeric characters as the first character in an
  STDL '#include' preprocessor directive statement.

o The STDL compiler truncated array names within records that exceeded 25 
  characters in length.

o The Java client make file(s) provided in this ECO kit is different from
  the previous kit. If you are using the Java sample client(s), you should
  copy the new make file from the appropriate sample directory into your
  working directory.

o TP Desktop Connector Client Services on OpenVMS:
  There was a problem with the OpenVMS client library files for the Alpha
  platform. In error, VAX versions of the files were provided instead of
  Alpha versions. This ECO kit includes the correct versions in the
  vmsalpha directory generated by expanding the archive file as shown below.

The affected files are:

ACMSDI$CLIENT_OBJLIB.OLB

NET_DECNET.OBJ

NET_NETWARE.OBJ

NET_TCPIP.OBJ

Note, The condist kit was not affected by this problem. Those files are 
correct.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

Installation of this kit requires that the January 1999 release of
the TPware Product Suite product(s) (Application Optimizer Version 2.0
for Windows NT, Portable TP Version 2.0 for Windows NT, TP Desktop
Connector Version 3.1, and TP Web Connector Version 1.2) be present
on the system prior to installing the ECO.

This installation does not ask for any product install keys.

Copy the following product/platform specific executable to a clean
folder and run it.

  e.g. Intel compatible  PC running Windows NT
  >cd c:\clean-folder
  >tpd3101int.exe

After running the executable, go to the intel32 directory
and execute Setup.exe.

Restrictions and Requirements:

* Installation of ECO kit will update all TPware Product Suite
  products (Application Optimizer for Windows NT, Portable TP for
  Windows NT, TP Desktop Connector & TP Web Connector) currently
  installed on the system. It is not necessary to perform a
  separate installation for each TPware product installed on the
  system.

* After installing the ECO, if your application uses the Microsoft RPC
  (msrpc) adapter, the DCE (dce) adapter, or the ACMS Gateway (acmsda)
  adapter, you must recompile your task group specification (STDL file)
  and relink with your client. For further information about this
  requirement, please send e-mail to engineering at tp@Compaq.com.

* Please refer to Release Notes for installation restrictions
  and guidelines.
