The prompt: 'Enter the scramble hint:' has been removed. A new prompt: 'Do you wish to secure this message? No//' will be asked after you enter the text for a message. This correct the problem that was identified by Nois CLE-0696-40353. This patch is the same as MailMan patch XM*7.1*33. Both patches contain the same MailMan and Kernel routines. =========================================================================== This patch should be installed during off-peak hours. Users can be on the system, but no user should be using KIDS during the install of this patch. =========================================================================== INSTALLATION: 1. These routines are usually mapped on systems that allow mapping, so you will need to disable mapping for the effected routines. 2. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This option will load the KIDS package onto your system. 3. The patch has now been loaded into a Transport global on your system. You now need to use KIDS to install the Transport global. 4. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following options: Print Transport Global Compare Transport Global to Current System Verify Checksums in Transport Global Backup a Transport Global Install Package(s) 5. MSM Sites - Answer YES to the question 'Want to MOVE routines to other CPUs?'. Enter the names of your Compute and Print server(s). 6. AXP Sites, after patch has installed, rebuild your map set. =========================================================================== ROUTINES: The second line of the routine now looks like: ;;8.0;KERNEL;**[patch list]**;Jul 10, 1995 Name Checksum Patch List ----------------------------------------------------------- XPDTP 2358145 21,40 ;;7.1;MailMan;**33**;Jun 02, 1994 XMASEC 4454626 33 XMD 4879878 33 ============================================================================ Routine Information: ==================== Routine Name: - XPDTP Routine Checksum: Routine Name: - XMASEC Routine Checksum: Routine Name: - XMD Routine Checksum: ============================================================================= User Information: Entered By : DIMICELI,RON Date Entered : JUL 17, 1996 Completed By: FORT,WALLY Date Completed: AUG 30, 1996 Released By : LASHLEY,ANTHONY Date Released : AUG 30, 1996 ============================================================================= Packman Mail Message: ===================== $END TXT
