ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for CPU Routines on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through
V7.1-1H2.  This kit addresses the following problems:

Problems Addressed in the ALPCPU1B01_071 Kit:

  o  Indexing was changed to zero-based so that array indexing will start
     with [0],[1], etc. not [1],[2], etc.  The C language uses zero-based
     indexing.

  o  A boot attempt from a multifunction PCI device (such as Intraserver
     876) resulted in a system hang.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted.
 If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must also be rebooted
in order to make use of the new image(s).

If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this
time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.
