 VAX DECalc-PLUS V4.0B MUP Kit

 Before installing the VAX DECalc-PLUS Version 4.0B MUP kit, please read the 
 rest of this cover letter, and review the DECalc-PLUS Installation and System 
 Manager's Guide as well as the DECalc-PLUS V4.0 Release Notes.

 Description
 -----------

 Enclosed is a MUP kit for ALL customers currently using VAX DECalc-PLUS V4.0. 
 The MUP kit contains several fixes to the DECalc-PLUS product.  This media kit 
 replaces the VAX DECalc-PLUS V4.0 media kit.  

 This kit can be installed with the VMSINSTAL command procedure, as outlined
 in Chapter 2 of the DECalc-PLUS Installation and System Manager's Guide, by 
 using the command:

	$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL PLUSMUPB040 [device] OPTIONS N

 instead of:

	$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL PLUS040 [device] OPTIONS N


 Overview
 --------

 This kit fixes the following problems that were found in V4.0 of DECalc-PLUS:

	o When performing consolidation operations that contain named areas, 
	  DECalc-PLUS would hang.

	o When performing consolidation operations under certain conditions,
	  DECalc-PLUS would indicate an error, but didn't display an error log.

	o When attempting to reproduce sections, the locked format was not 
	  applied to the target sections.

	o DECalc-PLUS would return an internal fatal error and crash when 
	  attempting to calculate formulas that contain 100 or more operators, 
	  operands, and/or functions.

	o DECalc-PLUS grids could not be converted to LOTUS 1-2-3 using the CDA 
	  Converter Library.

	o DECalc-PLUS would return an internal fatal error when attempting to 
	  print/save/scroll/refresh grids that contained edit strings which 
	  used repeating notation.

	o When attempting to perform scroll operations on grids with title 
	  sections, characters in continuous labels on box boundaries would 
	  not be displayed.
 
 Special Notes
 ------- -----

 Conversion of DECalc-PLUS V4.0 grids is not necessary unless they are to be 
 used with the CDA converter, or another application which utilizes DTIF 
 (Digital Table Interchange Format).  To use CDA or other DTIF compliant 
 applications, simply run all grids through the CALC$CONVERT_GRIDS.COM command 
 procedure in the CALC$UTILITY directory.  This command procedure work for all 
 DECalc-PLUS V3.x (.CALC$GRD) and V4.0 (.CALC$DTF) grids.  Instructions for 
 running the conversion command procedure can be found in Appendix D in the 
 DECalc-PLUS Reference Manual.

 Documentation
 -------------

 All references to V4.0 in the installation procedure in the DECalc-PLUS
 Installation and System Manager's Guide should be changed to V4.0B.

 This MUP kit does not contain any other changes to the VAX DECalc 
 documentation.
