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
       can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for the Backup Utility on OpenVMS VAX V7.2.  This 
kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  An %BACKUP-F-BADOPTVAL error can occur when using an
     Identifier String for a BACKUP/BY_OWNER qualifier value.

     For example:

       $ BACKUP SOURCE:*.*/BY_OWNER=USER TAPE:A.BCK/SAV
       %BACKUP-F-BADOPTVAL, invalid callable interface option value,
       argument position 7, option type = 59, option value = 2147549409

     Image(s) Affected:  [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE; [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE

  o  Attempting to use BACKUP/ENCRYPT in BATCH results in the error
     %BACKUP-F-ENCNOTSUP.

     Images(s) Affected:  [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE; [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE  

  o  The BACKUP/DRIVE_CLASS qualifier was not processed properly.

     Images(s) Affected:  [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE; [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE

  o  BACKUP/JOURNAL fails with an ACCVIO under the following two
     conditions:

       -  backing up a moderate number of files to tape

       -  backing up a file, where the combined length of the
          directory specification and filename exceed 512 
          characters

     Image(s) Affected:  [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE; [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if the system is a member of a VMScluster, the other cluster
members should be rebooted or this kit should be installed on each 
system in order to make use of the new image(s).
