597.0. "VAXft 810 and DELTA TIME problem" by PRSSOS::SPECTY (carpe diem) Wed May 14 1997 13:29

	Hi,

	There is a problem with VAXft 810 running VMS V6.2-0HF. If you 
	want to install the DELTA TIME patch  ( VAXLIBR06_070 ) , the
	KITINSTAL.COM is unable to recognize the VMS version and the 
	installation fails.

	One workaround we found was to modify the KITINSTAL.COM  file
	by inserting one line as follows:
	
--------------------
$!
$!      Since the V5 installation and upgrade produce special format
$!      version numbers to identify the type of system we have, we
$!      need to perform special version checks.
$!
$!
$       vms$version     = f$edit (f$getsyi ("VERSION"), "TRIM")
$       vms$version     = "V6.2"                         <-------that's it
$       vms$type_id     = f$extract (0, 1, vms$version)
$       .............
----------------

        The dead line for the patch is 19 May 1997 . Have fun,

                Alain
