ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO (patch) kit exists for the TVDRIVER.EXE on OpenVMS VAX V5.0
through V5.1.  This kit addresses the following problems:

  o  A BACKUP to a multivolume saveset on TK50 tapes will not prompt
     for the second volume.  The BACKUP operation successfully writes
     information to the first TK50 and unloads the tape.  While
     attempting to prepare for the next tape (rewinding what it
     assumes to be a newly-loaded tape), BACKUP displays the following
     error messages:

       %BACKUP-I-RESUME, resuming on volume 2
       %BACKUP-E-POSITERR, error positioning MUA0:[]savesetname
       %SYSTEM-F-VOLINV, volume is not software enabled
       %BACKUP-I-SPECIFY, specify option (QUIT or RESTART)

     Answering "QUIT" aborts the entire save operation.  Answering
     "RESTART" causes the BACKUP save operation to fail with an
     additional error.
