ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO (patch) kit exists for the AppleTalk subsystem of PATHWORKS for
VMS (Macintosh) V1.1.
This kit addresses the following problems:

   o Added prev_tbe field to TGD to eliminate stale reference. This
     corrects a problem that could cause a crash during ASP session
     cancellation.

   o Permit wild cards in the name field of a confirm call.

   o All read errors now delay before retrying. This corrects a problem
     where an Ethernet with high error rates could result in saturation of
     the VAX.

   o Increased tickle timer timeout value to reduce the likelihood of
     Apple LaserWriter printers hanging when they run out of paper.

   o Do not adjust the size of a CXB if it's already filled in. This
     corrects a problem on systems with unusual SYSGEN memory tuning
     parameters losing non-paged pool over time.

   o Insure that tickle timers are decremented only for open connections.
     This corrects a problem where pending opens for very busy printers
     were being lost.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order for the corrections to take effect the system must be
rebooted.  If you are a member of a VAXcluster, the entire cluster
must be rebooted.  You may postpone rebooting if it is not convenient
for you; however, the new driver(s) will not take affect until after a
reboot.
