An ECO kit exists for INIT/SHADOW on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3.  This kit addresses the
following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS73_INIT-V0100 KIT:

  o  If the command INIT/SHADOW=(ddc1:, ddc2:, ddc3:) is performed,
     disks  ddc2:   and  ddc3:   are  not initialized properly.  In
     particular, the BADBLK.SYS file is wrong.  Therefore, attempts
     to  ANALYZE/DISK ddc2:  will fail with "%ANALDISK-W-MULTALLOC"
     errors.

                            [SYSEXE]INIT.EXE
