INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system must
be rebooted.  If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire
cluster should be rebooted.

During installation you may see the following message:

     %INSTALL-E-NODELSHRADR, unable to delete image with shareable
                             address data
     -INSTALL-I-PLSREBOOT, please reboot to install a new version if this
                           image

This is not a cause for concern.  It simply means that LIBRTL*.EXE was
installed as a resident image, which is the standard configuration for
OpenVMS Alpha V7.0 systems.  The new image will not take affect until the
system is rebooted.


REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove this kit and restore the original files and libraries by logging
into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following DCL prompt:

     @SYS$UPDATE:SORTSHR$ECO_DROP
