 VAX DECalc V4.0B MUP Kit

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


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

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

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

	$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL CALCMUPB040 [device] OPTIONS N

 instead of:

	$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL CALC040 [device] OPTIONS N

 Overview
 --------

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

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

	o When performing consolidation operations under certain conditions,
	  DECalc 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 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 grids could not be converted to LOTUS 1-2-3 using the CDA 
	  Converter Library.

	o DECalc 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 V4.0 grids is not necessary unless they are to be used 
 with the CDA converter or another application which utilizes th Digital
 Table Interchange Format (DTIF).  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 
 works for all DECalc 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 Reference Manual (AA-JU28B-TE).


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

 All references to V4.0 in the installation procedure in the DECalc 
 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.
