Problems Addressed in the VAXCLIU01_071 Kit:

  o  System crashes with a PGFIPLHI, Pagefault with Interrupt Priority
     Level (IPL) too high, after entering a SHOW CLUSTER/CONT command
     and adding PORT class information. 

          Crash FOOTPRINT: From SDA> CLUE CRASH

          Crash Time:        28-APR-1997 09:41:36.33
          Bugcheck Type:     PGFIPLHI, Pagefault with IPL too high
          Node:              XXXX  (Clustered)
          CPU Type:          VAX  
          VMS Version:       V6.2

          Offset:            00061080

  o  Modified date and time format for the SHOW CLUSTER utility.  Signed
     integer fields can now be displayed. 

  o  For date/time display elements, the SHOW CLUSTER command shows only
     the last two digits of the year.  This can be seen by executing 
     any of the following 'Add' commands in SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS: 

          SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS
          Add> ADD FORMED
          Add> ADD LAST_TRANSITION
          Add> ADD TRANSITION

     If the system time is set to sometime in the year 2000, the year
     is displayed as "00". 

     This change allows year to be displayed as a full four digit number.
