ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO (patch) kit exists for DTEPAD.EXE on OpenVMS VAX V5.4 - V5.5-2.
This kit addresses the following problems:

o DTEPAD would exit upon an error condition even if
/ERROR_ACTION=CONTINUE had been specified.

This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V5.4-1.

o The APPLICATION/NUMERIC terminal characteristic is not
being restored (it's always set to application mode on exit).

This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V5.4-1.

o When /LOG=<spec> was used and <spec> did not include a
file TYPE, the logfile did not default to a .LOG extension.

This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V5.4-1.

o If the CUT/PASTE function of the workstation is used on a
window with DTEPAD enabled, data corruption or a possible
hang would occur.

This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V5.4-3.

o The keypad is changed to application mode from numeric mode
when executing the SET HOST/DTE command.

This problem is fixed in OpenVMS VAX V5.4-3.

o The SET HOST/DTE/NOEIGHTBIT command does not set the
terminal to noeightbit. Fixed in a future release of VMS.

o A terminal port does not echo characters after using
command mode and exiting back to normal mode in DTEPAD.
