    ECO KIT SUMMARY:
    
    An ECO kit exists for DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 on OpenVMS V6.2 through
    V7.2-1H2.  This kit addresses the following problems:
    
    
    PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPMOTF03_U4012 KIT:
    
     New Desktop problems
    
      o  Saving a session can cause the session manager to  fail.   This
         occurs  if the file protections on the directories used to hold
         the current or home session prevents its renaming or deletion.
      
         The session manager creates these directories using the default
         file  protections  from  OpenVMS.  Previously the default would
         usually give delete access  to  the  owner  and  therefore  the
         problem was not seen.  However, a fix to the C run time library
         included in the ALPACRT03_071 and  ALPY2K01_071  ECO  kits  has
         modified  the use of defaults so the problem invariably occurs,
         if one of these kits has been installed.
      
         The problem occurs when:
      
          o  Saving  a  current  session  and  a  current  session   has
             previously been saved.
      
          o  Saving a home session and a  home  session  has  previously
             been saved.
      
          o  On logout, reverting to the  home  session  and  a  current
             session has previously been saved.
      
      
         In all cases the  session  manager  terminates  abnormally  and
         records  a message in the user's error log file indicating that
         the directory could not be deleted or  could  not  be  renamed.
         For example,
      
         dtsession: Unable to remove session directory.
         Make sure write permissions exist on dka100:[another]dt directory.
         Invalid session files will not be removed.
      
         The remedial kit addresses this problem by changing permissions
         to  allow  renaming  and  deletion  of  these directories.  The
         problem can still occur if there is a file within  a  directory
         to be deleted which the user does not have permission to delete
         nor to change the protections.  In this case the error  message
         in  the  log file has been supplemented to identify the file(s)
         causing problems.
    
    
      X Header Files problems
    
      o  The XLIBINT.H header file was  omitted  from  the  kit  and  is
         required  by some users.  The remedial kit installs this in the
         DECW$INCLUDE directory.
    
    
      Xm problems
    
      o  For each text field widget  created  and  destroyed  about  120
         bytes  of  memory  are  leaked.   These  leaks are fixed in the
         remedial kit.
    
    
      Motif Window Manager problems
    
       o  If windows are unmapped while the Motif window manager  is  not
          running and the window manager is then restarted, these windows
          re-appear as  empty  windows.   They  cannot  be  iconified  or
          closed.   The  remedial  kit fixes this by setting the state of
          these unmapped windows to  unmapped  when  the  window  manager
          restarts.
    
    
      XUI Window Manager problems
    
      o  Two sequences of mouse actions can cause the XUI window manager
         to terminate with an ACCVIO.
      
         The first sequence is to click and hold mouse button 1 or 3  in
         the  window  manager's title, click and hold mouse button 2 and
         move the pointer to the icon area.
      
         The second sequence is to click and hold mouse button 1 or 3 in
         the  window  manager's  title,  move the pointer where the icon
         area was and click on mouse button 2.
      
         The remedial kit fixes these problems.
    
    
      Bookreader problems
    
      o  In  Bookreader  if  the  option  is  taken  to  print  text  to
         PostScript,  Bookreader  can terminate abnormally.  The problem
         occurs  with  the  formatting  of  tabular  text.    Bookreader
         estimates  the number of columns in the text from the structure
         of white space in the document.  If it determines there are six
         or  more  columns  it overflows internal buffers causing memory
         corruptions.  Since the problem is memory  overflow  the  exact
         failure  behavior  can  depend  on  the  precise  set of topics
         printed.
      
         The remedial kit increases the limit to  20  columns,  provides
         for  a  recovery  action if the limit is exceeded and outputs a
         diagnostic.
    
    
      UIL Compiler problems
    
      o  An uninitialized  variable  in  UILWMDCREATE.C  can  cause  the
         subsequent    UIL    compilation    to    fail    with    error
         "UIL-E-BAD_DATABASE".  The remedial kit fixes this.
    
    
    PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPMOTF02_U4012:
    
     New Desktop problems
      
      
      o  If in the File Manager the view option  had  been  set  to  "By
         Tree" then use of "Update" from the "View" menu could crash the
         File  Manager.   This  would  occur  whenever  more  than   one
         directory  was open.  This problem is corrected in the remedial
         kit.
      
      
     Login problems
      
      
      o  If using the DECwindows login  (rather  than  the  New  Desktop
         login)  the  return  key  could  lock the keyboard.  This would
         happen if tab was used to move from the password box to the  OK
         button  and  the return key pressed.  This problem is corrected
         in the remedial kit.  If tab has been used to  move  to  OK  or
         CLEAR  the return key is ignored.  The space key can be used to
         activate OK or CLEAR when they are selected.  The remedial  kit
         also  supports  the  use of tab to move to the CLEAR button and
         makes the use of tab with secondary passwords consistent.
      
     Motif Window Manager problems
      
      
      o  When   the   file   SYS$LOGIN:.;   exists    and    the    file
         SYS$LOGIN:DECW$MWM_RC.DAT file does not exist, the Motif window
         manager      opens       that       file       instead       of
         DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$MWM_RC.DAT.   As  a  result,  several
         window menus are not defined.  Since the root  window  menu  is
         not defined, clicking MB1 on the root window does not display a
         menu.
      
         This problem does not occur on OpenVMS  VAX.   The  problem  is
         fixed in the remedial kit.
      
      
     XUI Window Manager problems
      
      
      o  If the pointer is moved from the root window to the icon box of
         the  XUI Window Manager whilst a button is depressed the window
         manager could crash.  This problem is corrected in the remedial
         kit.
      
      
     Bookreader problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, if a DECnet  based  file  is  given
         along  with  the  password as the filename to the print option,
         DECW$BOOKREADER   displays   the   actual   password   in   the
         informational  dialog  box.   This  problem is corrected in the
         remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, if a DECnet  based  file  is  given
         along  with  the  password as the filename to the print option,
         DECW$BOOKREADER displays the actual password  as  part  of  the
         Title in the PostScript file.  This problem is corrected in the
         remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, DECW$BOOKREADER fails with an acess
         violation  when  printing/saving postcript file on a particular
         manual.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      
     Calendar problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, DECW$CALENDAR currently  accepts  a
         two  digit  year  in  its interchange format.  However, the two
         digit year will not work in the year  2000  and  beyond.   This
         problem  is  corrected  in the remedial kit by interpreting two
         digit years as being in the range 1970-2069.
      
         DECW$CALENDAR always use a four digit year when writing in  the
         interchange   format.   Two  digit  years  can  only  arise  if
         interfacing Calendar with other programs.
      
      
     Print Screen problems
      
      
      o  When DECW$PRINTSCREEN generates a  PostScript  file  it  writes
         introductory  comments to this file.  After the end of 1999 the
         date written to the file will be wrong.  For example, the  year
         2000  would be output as "19100".  This problem is corrected in
         the remedial kit.
      
      
     Paint problems
      
      
      o  When  DECW$PAINT  generates  a  PostScript   file   it   writes
         introductory  comments to this file.  After the end of 1999 the
         date written to the file will be wrong.  For example, the  year
         2000  would be output as "19100".  This problem is corrected in
         the remedial kit.
      
      
     CDA Viewer problems
      
      
      o  When converting DTIF files to DDIF and the current year is 2000
         or  later,  the  year  is written incorrectly to the DDIF file:
         the first two digits of the year  are  always  written  as  19.
         This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      
     Xm library 1.2.5 problems
      
      
      o  In certain applications, an "X Toolkit Error:   Cannot  perform
         realloc"   error  message  can  be  displayed,  followed  by  a
         traceback.  This usually occurs after closing  popup  menus  on
         which a tear-off menu has been torn off.  This problem is fixed
         in the remedial kit.
      
      o  When several application modal popup widgets are created  at  a
         similar  time, the cascade modal mechanism can get confused and
         the mouse may  hang.   This  problem  has  been  fixed  in  the
         remedial kit.
      
      o  When running on a monochrome display and using  a  push  button
         gadget, an application program can receive a fatal error.  This
         happens when the gadget has the following resources set:
      
           XmNfillOnSelect = true;
           XmNindicatorOn = false;
      
         The error messages seen by the user are:
      
           X Error of failed request:  BadFont (invalid Font parameter)
             Major opcode of failed request:  56 (X_ChangeGC)
             Resource id in failed request:  0xffffffff
      
         followed by:
      
           [_XDispatchInput - entered in reply state]
      
         This problem has been fixed in the remedial kit.
      
     DXm library 1.2.5 problems
      
      
      o  Trying to open a print window from the DECwindows interface  to
         DEC  Notes V2.5 causes an access violation and DEC Notes exits.
         This problem is fixed in the remedial kit.
      
      
     XNL Library problems
      
      
      o  xnl_parsedatetime (and its  VAX  binding,  XNL$PARSE_DATE_TIME)
         accepts   two   digit   or   four   digit  year  in  the  input
         argument(XmString s)  which  is  the  date-time  string  to  be
         parsed.   Valid  years  in  two digits are from 70 to 99, which
         mean the years from 1970 to 1999.  Values from  00  to  69  are
         invalid.   Year  2000 and later must be specified in four digit
         format.
      
      o  xnl_langinfo (and its  VAX  binding,  XNL$LANGINFO)  returns  a
         string  for  date-time  formatting  when  D_FMT  or  D_T_FMT is
         specified in the item argument.  In the locales  listed  below,
         this  function returns a formatting string containing %y.  This
         formatting string should be used carefully after the year 2000,
         as %y indicates the two digit format of the year.
      
          o  es_ES Spanish
      
          o  fr_BE French Belgium
      
          o  fr_CA French Canada
      
          o  iw_IL Hebrew
      
          o  no_NO Norwegian
      
      
      
     UIL Compiler Problems
      
      
      o  When compiling a UIL file containing  references  to  a  custom
         widget  defined  in  a  WMD  file,  %UIL-E-CREATE_PROC_REQ  and
         %UIL-W-UNSUPPORTED errors are reported when an  XmWorkingDialog
         widget is defined in the UIL file.
      
      
     Command file problems
      
      
      o  The  DECW$COMPARE_VERSIONS  command  file   compares   versions
         identifications  using  a  two digit year.  As such it will not
         compare version identifications correctly for images  generated
         after the Year 1999 with those from before.
    
    
    
    PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPMOTF01_U4012 KIT:
    
     New Desktop problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 when using the New Desktop, a number
         of  the  screen  saver  patterns  are not displayed properly on
         OpenVMS Version 7.0 and later.  Many of the patterns repeat the
         same  sequence,  such  as  a  single  wiggly  worm  or firework
         display.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 using the New  Desktop,  the  Create
         Action application crashes when the program terminates with the
         Action Name field left blank.  This problem is corrected in the
         remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, the DECsound application  can't  be
         started  from  the  New Desktop's "DECwindows Apps" dialog box.
         It  can  be  started   from   DCL   using   the   command   RUN
         SYS$SYSTEM:DECSOUND.  This problem is corrected in the remedial
         kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, the login box for the  New  Desktop
         does  not  reappear  after  logging  out of a Failsafe session.
         This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In  DECwindows  Motif  V1.2-4  when  using  the  New   Desktop,
         applications invoked using commands that include quoted strings
         are not restored properly.  The result is that the  application
         window  will  appear  uniconified  in  the current workspace on
         screen 0.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
    
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 when using the New Desktop, deleting
         security entries from the DECwindows security dialog box in the
         Style Manager does not take take effect immediately.  There are
         also  cases  where  the  security list displayed can get out of
         sync  if  multiple  updates  are  made.   These  problems   are
         corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, New Desktop font aliases  are  left
         as  part  of the font path consuming server resources even if a
         DECwindows session  is  started  from  the  Session  login  box
         Option.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 when using the New Desktop, when the
         File Manager encounters a directory with long filenames, it may
         create an incomplete list of files in the directory.  In  cases
         where  icon placement has been set to "As Placed", it may cause
         the process to hang.   These  problems  are  corrected  in  the
         remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 using the New Desktop, if a  logical
         name  is  used  within  the File Manager as a device name which
         translates to a disk name and is not a  terminal  or  concealed
         logical then the specified location will be considered invalid.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 when using the New Desktop, the File
         Manager  does  not correctly display file protections for files
         on Spiralog devices.  This is visible after  selecting  a  file
         and  pressing  "Change Permissions".  This problem is corrected
         in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 when using  the  New  Desktop,  many
         applications,  including the dtwm Window Manager, will crash if
         the user's home directory or  another  directory  in  the  icon
         search  path contains many files with long names.  This problem
         is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  The remedial kit provides a new window  interface  that  allows
         you  to graphically select the screen on which new applications
         will be displayed when launched from either the Front Panel  or
         the  File  Manager  /  Application  Manager.  The default is to
         display applications on the "Current Screen".  This is  is  the
         screen  containing  the  mouse  pointer when the application is
         launched.  You can also optionally  drop  an  application  icon
         from  the  file/application  manager  onto  one of the numbered
         screen controls  (e.g.   "Screen  1").   This  will  start  the
         application on the selected screen without changing the default
         screen.  This interface is activated as before by selecting the
         "Set  Screen"  application in the Application Manager's Desktop
         Tools window.  A separate instance of  this  interface  can  be
         started on each screen.  The highlighting of the default screen
         will be synchronized across all instances of the interface.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 when using the New Desktop, days are
         not  highlighted  in  DECwindows  Calendar.   This  problem  is
         corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 when using the New Desktop,  if  the
         passAll resource is defined for the PrintDialog application, it
         redefines the value of the pageSize resource to  either  0  for
         false  or  1 for true.  The default value for PassAll is always
         used.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, when the user attempts  to  rebuild
         help  volume files (*.hv and *.hf) using the dthelpgen utility,
         the utility simply hangs and does not  generate  the  requested
         files.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows  Motif  V1.2-4  the  New  Desktop  will  not  run
         correctly  on  a  display  server set up for 75 dpi resolution.
         This is because the New Desktop requires 100 dpi fonts, and the
         font path that is set for 75 dpi fonts doesn't fall back to the
         100 dpi fonts.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      
     Session Manager problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, in the  DECwindows  desktop,  after
         the user ends the session, the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF message is only
         sent  to  clients  displaying  on  the  default  screen.    The
         WM_SAVE_YOURSELF  message  allows  clients  to save their state
         when the session is about to end.  This problem is corrected in
         the   remedial  kit:   the  message  is  sent  to  all  clients
         participating in the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol.
      
     DECterm problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, DECterm  window  titles  are  blank
         when using a window manager other than the Motif Window Manager
         or the New Desktop's window manager (dtwm).   This  problem  is
         corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In  DECwindows  Motif  V1.2-4,  when  a   program   calls   the
         DECwTermPort  or  DECW$TERM_PORT  routine,  the  first resource
         definition in the customization string is  ignored.   This  can
         mean,  for example, that the DECterm window is created with the
         wrong title.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
    
      o  In  DECwindows  Motif  V1.2-4,  DECterm  will  not  display   a
         non-default  (ANSI)  color  character in the last column of the
         window.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, when using the New Desktop, DECterm
         windows are very small after the session is saved and restored,
         after the user has previously resized the DECterm window.  This
         problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, when using the New Desktop, DECterm
         windows  created  using  a  CREATE/TERMINAL  command containing
         quotation marks are sometimes not  restored,  or  are  restored
         incorrectly,  after  the  session  is saved and restored.  This
         problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      
     Bookreader problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4,  when  printing  certain  books  in
         PostScript  format  in  Bookreader, figures overlap with nearby
         text.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
     Calendar problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, when a  new  entry  is  created  in
         Calendar  and the user brings up the entry customization dialog
         box, alarms are initially shown as being disabled and the wrong
         alarm times are displayed.  These problems are corrected in the
         remedial kit.
      
      
     Print Screen problems
      
      
      o  In  DECwindows  Motif  V1.2-4,  when  using  the  Print  Screen
         application to produce PostScript output on some printers, part
         of the output is missing:  the  upper  and  left  portion  when
         printing in landscape mode, and the lower and left portion when
         printing  in  portrait  mode.   This  problem  is   caused   by
         differences  between  PostScript  printers.   To  correct  this
         problem, the remedial kit adds support for four  new  resources
         which can be specified in DECW$PRINTSCREEN.DAT:
      
             PrintScreen.plxtranslate
      
             PrintScreen.plytranslate
      
             PrintScreen.plxscale
      
             PrintScreen.plyscale
      
         These resources control the size and position of the PostScript
         image on the page.  The plxtranslate and plytranslate resources
         control the x and y offsets of the image  in  inches  from  the
         origin, while plxscale and plyscale are an x and y scale factor
         to allow the entire image to be displayed on the page after the
         origin is moved.
      
      
     Cardfiler problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, images displayed by  the  Cardfiler
         application are garbled when displayed on a PC using eXcursion.
         This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
     CDA Viewer problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif  V1.2-4,  when  using  the  CDA  Viewer  to
         display   PostScript   documents  that  don't  begin  with  the
         conventional formatting comments, pages  can  be  displayed  as
         blank  when  scrolling  backward  through  the  document.  This
         problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
    
    
     Xm library 1.2.5 problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, when dragging  a  widget  with  the
         background  color  into  screen  1 of a dual headed system, the
         cursor  is  drawn  with  the  wrong  color.   This  problem  is
         corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 there are various problems with Drag
         and  Drop  in  applications  which use windows on more than one
         screen.  These problems are corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 there is a  memory  leak  when  Text
         widgets  are  destroyed.   This  problem  is  corrected  in the
         remedial kit.
    
      
     DXm library 1.2.5 problems
      
      
      o  In  DECwindows  Motif  V1.2-4,  when  all  the  items  in   the
         top_primary  widget  are  suppressed using the suppress options
         mask before displaying the print widget, the middle_primary and
         bottom_primary  widgets  are  not  visible.   This  problem  is
         corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      
     Xlib problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, if a program enters its event  loop
         (e.g.   by  calling  XtAppMainLoop)  without  having  opened  a
         display or specified a timer or event flag for the  program  to
         wait  for  (by  calling XtAppAddTimeout or XtAppAddInput), Xlib
         will terminate the program with the following error message:
      
                X Toolkit Error: Error in XMultiplexInput
      
         This  problem  is  corrected  in  the  remedial  kit.   In  the
         situation  where  there  is nothing to wait for, Xlib will wait
         forever instead of terminating with an error status.
      
         To allow Xlib to process events at a  later  time  applications
         should  provide  some  means  of  regaining control, such as by
         specifying an event flag in a call to XtAppAddInput.
      
      o  In  DECwindows  Motif  V1.2-4,  on  Alpha  systems   only,   if
         XReadBitmapFile  is  passed  a  bitmap  file specification that
         includes a directory path which includes a dot  (at  least  one
         subdirectory),  the  file  will  not be found.  This problem is
         corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In  DECwindows  Motif  V1.2-4,  the  Translated  Image  Support
         version of Xlib, DECW$XLIBSHR_TV_SUPPORT.EXE is the same as the
         version that shipped with DECwindows Motif V1.2, and  does  not
         contain  any  of  the  later  bug fixes.  An updated version of
         DECW$XLIBSHR_TV_SUPPORT.EXE is included in  the  remedial  kit.
         This  is  the  version  of Xlib that is used by VAX images that
         have been converted to run on Alpha using the VEST utility.
      
      
     Display PostScript problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, when viewing PostScript files  with
         the   CDA   Viewer  application  and  displaying  to  an  Alpha
         workstation, 8  bit  ASCII  characters  do  not  appear.   This
         problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      
     Internationalization problems
      
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 the DECterm  process  loops  on  End
         Session  when  the  language is Chinese or Korean.  The problem
         does not occur when using the New Desktop, and is corrected  in
         the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, when the CDA Converter  converts  a
         line  which  contains  both  Latin-1  and  Asian text into DDIF
         format, output  is  displayed  incorrectly.   This  problem  is
         corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, on Alpha  systems,  multiline  text
         input in the Paint program in the Japanese locale does not work
         properly.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, when using the New Desktop with the
         locale set to Hebrew, window titles are reversed.  This problem
         is corrected in the remedial kit.
      
      o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-4, the  list  of  available  languages
         displayed  when  you  select  the  language  option  on the New
         Desktop login screen appear in English,  even  if  the  default
         language  specified  in  the  xconfig.dat  file is not.  Once a
         language is selected, however, the language list  is  displayed
         in  the  selected  language.   This problem is corrected in the
         remedial kit.
