Modification Type:  Corrected Typo.

NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
 
       For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
       file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
       kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
       saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
       saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
 
       For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
       rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
       be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi.  The resultant
       file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
       the ECO.

An ECO kit exists for SYSLOA on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in VMS721_SYSLOA-V0100:

  o   Two nodes can crash with a Lock Manager bugcheck.

          Images Affected:  [SYS$LDR]SYS$CLUSTER.EXE

  o   A remote $GETJPI command fails with a BADBUFLEN error.

          Images Affected:  [SYS$LDR]SYS$CLUSTER.EXE


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.  If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must 
also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s).  

If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at 
this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.

by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the
DCL prompt:

  PRODUCT INSTALL VMS721_SYSLOA /SOURCE=[location of Kit]

The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that
