OpenVMS Alpha Software Products Library
March  2003

AV-RDA6U-TE


Welcome to this month's OpenVMS Alpha Software Products
Library Package.  The March 2003 package includes the
changes described in the following sections.


Update for Compaq DECram V1.3

Systems requiring DECram support on OpenVMS V7.3-1
should contact Services for the latest DECram version,
V3.1-1HP.   The V3.1 DECram kit has been temporarily
removed from this release of the Software Library and
will be replaced next quarter.

Mandatory Update for TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
Version 5.3

When running TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Version 5.3,
some customers may encounter floating-point errors in
application code when the NFS Client is accessing a
file system served by the OpenVMS NFS Server.

To prevent this problem, install the TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS Version 5.3 Mandatory Update (MUP),
provided on a separate CD-ROM with this version of the
Software Products Library.  Note that customers who are
not using the NFS Server should not encounter this
problem.
