ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO (patch) kit exists for TPU V2.6 on OpenVMS VAX V5.2 through
V5.5-2. This kit addresses the following problems:
o The VMS DECwindows V3.0 Motif[R] User Interface is not
supported by TPU V2.6.
o TPU 2.6 does not run with eXcursion software.
o TPU may access violate when running the VMS DECwindows XWindows
User Interface (XUI).
o The built-in READ_LINE followed by READ_KEY in the DECwindows
interface aborts TPU.
o When using the TPU editor through the DECforms FORMS DEVELOP
panel-level (edit ifdl) icon, a FATAL VAXTPU/SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO
error is signaled when exiting TPU.
o Using the TPU debugger, the "SET WINDOW n n" command will cause
an access violation (ACCVIO) if a GO command is not entered
first.
o Executing the SET(PROMPT_AREA,...) built-in procedure can
result in a "%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation".
o When you shift the window right more than 256 columns when
adding text to the buffer, garbage is added before the
characters you entered.
o EVE creates a journal file that may conflict with logical names.
o After enabling the WPS-style keypad and using the WPS ruler to
set the work wrap point, an attempt to perform the SHOW command
fails with:
Parameter 1's data type, STRING, unsupported
o The TPU programming example procedure "USER_REMOVE_BLANK_LINES"
documented in the VAX Text Processing Utility Manual,
(AA-PBTNA-TE), Part II, page 7-514, produces a Fatal VAXTPU
Internal Error.
o Copy_text built-in may cause an ACCVIO.
o Communications line faults, terminal emulator faults, or an
operation such as repeating the down-arrow key a number of
times can result in a TPU internal error "partial escape
sequence".
o After exiting EDIT/TPU by pressing <CTRL/C> at the "file to
save in:" prompt, the file is lost when trying to recover using
"EDIT/TPU/RECOVER filename"
o A user-written program that uses the Motif interface and calls
TPU$TPU multiple times fails on the second call, producing a
stack and register dump.
o Attempting to use the keyname DO returns the message "Ambiguous
or unrecognized keyname: do". Attempting to redefine either of
the default DO keys (PF4 or F16) returns several TPU error
messages, finishing with "You cannot define the only DO key".
o When using TPU as supplied with OpenVMS VAX V5.3 through
V5.5-2, it is no longer possible to redefine the CTRL/C key
even after issuing the DCL command "SET TERM/PASTHRU".
o When a user invokes DECwindows EVE in Fileview or selects
"OPEN..." from the file menu in the EVE window, the file filter
incorrectly displays the directory and file specification.
o TPU timed messages, enabled by SET(TIMER,ON), are not
displaying properly.
o When using a customized section file (built using EVE$BUILD),
information that should be displayed in the message window
(line 24) is sometimes displayed in the current editing window.
o The screen is not always updated properly when the search and
replacement parameters in a call to the TPU built-in procedure
TRANSLATE contain TAB characters.
o If <CTRL/C> is pressed during the compilation of a procedure,
TPU terminates with an internal fatal error.
o TPU aborts its startup if the work file cannot be opened, even
if the work file is not needed.
o The XUI interface of TPU would not allow users to turn off
cursor blink.

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool. If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and
review the article entitled:
[AES] How To Electronically Request ECO Kits Using Service Tools
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is
installed.
This kit updates the DCL help library and DCL tables so users will
have to log out and log back in if they wish to use EDIT/TPU after the
installation of the images has completed.
If this kit is installed on a cluster common area, several files must
be replaced using the INSTALL utility. The following command procedure
may be used to do this.
NOTE: The VMSINSTAL procedure does this automatically on the node the
kit was installed on.
$ INSTALL
REPLACE SYS$LIBRARY:TPUSHR.EXE
REPLACE SYS$LIBRARY:TPU$CCTSHR.EXE
REPLACE SYS$MESSAGE:TPUMSG.EXE
$EOD
$ IF F$SEARCH ("SYS$LIBRARY:EVE$SECTION.TPU$SECTION") .NES. ""
$ THEN
$ IF F$FILE_ATTRIBUTES("SYS$LIBRARY:EVE$SECTION.TPU$SECTION", -
"KNOWN") .EQS. "TRUE"
$ THEN
$ INSTALL REPLACE SYS$LIBRARY:EVE$SECTION.TPU$SECTION
$ ENDIF
$ ENDIF
$ ! Always remove the old XUI interface file.
$ INSTALL REMOVE SYS$LIBRARY:TPU$DECWSHR.EXE
$ EXIT
This kit will have to be re-installed after any major VMS upgrade
between OpenVMS VAX V5.2 and OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2. This version of TPU
is not included with any version of OpenVMS VAX prior to OpenVMS VAX
V6.0. If this kit is not re-installed, the system will revert to an
older version of TPU.
NOTE: After the installation of this kit, the version of TPU will be
V3.1. TPU V3.1 is included in OpenVMS VAX V6.0.
System managers may want to remind system users that any new features
of EVE will not be part of their private section files and those
section files should be rebuilt.
Users of the XUI interface who have private EVE section files should
be warned that the section files ** WILL NOT WORK ** with this
release. The EVE XUI UID file has been removed from the system and
previous version of EVE will still try to load in the old UID file.
This will cause the DECwindows interface for EVE to come up
incorrectly.
