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:

This ECO is installed using the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility.

   Product Kit Name: DNVOSIECO04
   PCSI Kit Name:    DEC-VAXVMS-DNVOSIECO04-V0601--4.PCSI

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


INSTALLATION CAUTION:

Due to an error in the POLYCENTER Software Installation, it is not
possible to install DEC VAXVMS OSAK V3.0 or DEC VAXVMS FTAM V3.2 after
installing this ECO kit.

OSAK and FTAM PCSI installations require DECnet/OSI V6.1 which causes
the installation process to remove DNVOSIECO04.  This will leave the
system without a SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE and rebooting is not possible.

The original installation order must be preserved.  This will be
corrected in a future release.

   Installation Order

   Place each PCSI kit in a unique source directory

      1) DEC VAXVMS DECNET_OSI V6.1 /Source=[KITS.DECNET]
      2) DEC VAXVMS OSAK V3.0-A /Source=[KITS.OSAK]
      3) DEC VAXVMS FTAM V3.2-B /Source=[KITS.FTAM]
      4) DEC VAXVMS DNVOSIECO04 V6.1 /Source=[KITS.ECO]
