ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DISMNTSHR and SYSMSG on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1

Problems Addressed in ALPDISM01_061:

  o  The ALPDISM01_062 kit did not include a new message that was
     included in a COBOLRTL024 remedial kit.

     This kit contains a new SYSMSG.EXE that includes the new
     message required by this DISMNTSHR.EXE and the new message
     required by COBOLRTL024.

     This kit should be installed after the COBOLRTL024 remedial
     kit to insure that the correct SYSMSG.EXE is installed.


Problems Addressed in the ALPDISM01_062 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1,
V6.1-1H1 and V6.1-1H2:

  o  A SSRVEXCEPT failure may occur in DISMNTSHR when an attempt is
     made to dismount a tape that is in use by RTF/SLS.  The Remote
     Tape Facility (RTF) is shipped with SLS.
