          Installation Information

          To install version 4.2 of OpenVMS PL/I, follow the
          installation procedure in the PL/I for OpenVMS Systems
          Installation Guide for Version 4.0 with the following
          exceptions:

          o  On OpenVMS versions prior to 7.0, if you currently
             have the PL/I RTL installed, remove the file manu-
             ally prior to the installation of DEC PL/I 4.2. If
             you do not remove this file file, the newest RTL
             will not be installed.

             $ DIR SYS$LIBRARY:DPLI$RTLSHR.EXE

             Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]

             DPLI$RTLSHR.EXE;1

             Total of 1 file.

             $ DELETE SYS$LIBRARY:DPLI$RTLSHR.EXE;

          o  Prior versions of PL/I for OpenVMS Systems included
             a special debugger. This is not included in Version
             4.2 since the functionality is now built into the
             VMS operating system.

          o  Block usage for this kit is slightly greater than
             for Version 4.0. Current peak usage during installa-
             tion is 12,000 blocks.

          o  Version 4.0 contained five savesets, A through E.
             Version 4.2 contains four, A through D, since the
             debugger was in saveset E.
