ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for VERIFY on OpenVMS VAX V6.0.  This kit addresses the
following problems.

Problems Addressed in the VAXVERI01_060 Kit:

  o  The VAXVERI01_071 remedial kit, which addressed versions 5.5-2
     through V7.1 has been superseded for V7.1.  The other versions are
     being released as single version kits.

     There are no new problem solutions in this kit.  If you have
     installed the VAXVERI01_071 remedial kit you do not need to install
     this kit.


Problems Addressed in the VAXVERI01_062 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.0:

  o  Errors similar to these may occur during execution of the
     'ANALYZE/DISK' DCL command:

        %ANALDISK-W-CHKALTHOME,  invalid alternate  home block, VBN 3,
         RVN 1

        %ANALDISK-W-CHKALTHOME,  invalid alternate  home block, VBN 4,
         RVN 1

        %ANALDISK-W-CHKALTHOME,  invalid alternate  home block, VBN 5,
         RVN 1

     NOTE:  In order to receive this full fix, in addition to this kit,
            the VAXCLIU03_060 kit or any kits that supersede it, must
            also be installed.

     This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V7.0.


Problems Addressed in the VAXVERI02_061 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.0:

  o   When running ANAL/DISK/REPAIR, a directory that is reported as
      having bad backlinks may be completely erased if it contains
      an alias pointing to itself.

      This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V6.2.

  o   When running ANAL/DISK, an error may be returned from LIB (for
      example, "-LIB-F-BADBLOSIZ, bad block size") and a user-mode
      crash may occur.

      This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V6.2.

  o   ANAL/DISK does not notice out of order file names or versions
      within a directory block.

      This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V6.2.


Problems Addressed in the VAXVERI01_061 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.0:

  o  When ANAL/DISK/REPAIR is run on a volume containing corrupt
     directory files, the system crashes with an UNXSIGNAL bugcheck.

     NOTE:  VERIFY has been changed so all errors detected by the XQP
            are also detected by ANAL/DISK and fixed if ANAL/DISK/REPAIR
            is used.  Bad RVNs (relative volume numbers) in directory
            files are now removed properly and ANAL/DISK/REPAIR will not
            bugcheck when fixing a broken directory.

      This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V6.2.
