ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for TP Web Connector V1.2 on Windows NT (Intel) V4.0. 
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  The STDL compiler did not properly compile record definitions that
     contained embedded records when building the JAVA adapter. 

  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
     Web 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 DCE 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  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. 


INSTALLATION NOTES:

Installation of this kit requires that the January 1999 release of the
TPware Product Suite product(s) (Application Optimizer V2.0 for Windows
NT, Portable TP V2.0 for Windows NT, TP Desktop Connector V3.1, and TP
Web Connector V1.2) 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
     >tpw1202int.exe

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


RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS:

  o  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. 

  o  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. 

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