This remedial kit is available on this Software Products Library distribution. Note that this kit is not an orderable part. The POLYCENTER Software Installation utility kit DEC-VAXVMS-VMS62TO71_PCSI-V0100--4.PCSI can be applied to OpenVMS VAX V6.2 and V7.1. After installation, the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility will be functionally equivalent to that provided by OpenVMS VAX V7.2. For more information about this remedial kit, please read the cover letter that accompanies the kit before beginning the installation. You can also refer to the release notes, which are placed in [SYSHLP] during installation. 3 DECforms Asian Local Language Versions The following products, which shipped as part of the December 1998 Software Product Library Package, have been replaced in the March 1999 package with the Year 2000 ready Version 2.1B1. Product Name New Version UPILV DECforms/Hanzi for OpenVMS (Development) 2.1B1 VCH2A DECforms/Hanyu for OpenVMS (Development) 2.1B1 VCH3A DECforms/Hangul for OpenVMS (Development) 2.1B1 VCH4A DECforms/Japanese for OpenVMS (Development) 2.1B1 VCHJA DECforms/Hanzi for OpenVMS (Runtime) 2.1B1 VNS2A DECforms/Hanyu for OpenVMS (Runtime) 2.1B1 VNS3A DECforms/Hangul for OpenVMS (Runtime) 2.1B1 VNS4A DECforms/Japanese for OpenVMS (Runtime) 2.1B1 VNSJA This new version is Version 2.1B with the Year 2000 ECO (ECO1) already applied. Users who have already installed ECO1 to their V2.1B systems need not install this maintenance release. For new installations, use the kits on this Software Product Library Package to save time. Version 2.1B1 provides a definable 100-year window feature, sometimes called a "sliding window", for the interpretation of two digit years on input. Used correctly, this feature can decrease the burden upon application developers to insure correct application operation into the 21st century. After installation of any of the runtime kits above, additional details on the "sliding window" feature can be found in the SYS$HELP directory in the file named FORMSAMB021_E01_README1ST.RELEASE_NOTES. If you are installing a development kit, you will need to extract this file from the runtime saveset using the BACKUP utility program. 4 IMPORTANT YEAR 2000 INFORMATION "This is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure by Compaq Computer Corporation pursuant to the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act of 1998."
