598.0. "Where is FTSSU03020.A" by CSC32::H_SCHELTER () Wed May 21 1997 13:55

    
    My customer wants to upgrade VMS from 5.5-2 to 6.2 on an FT610.  It
    appears that FTSSU03020.A is the latest software.  Is that correct ?
    The customer has FTSS 2.0A and 2.0B on distribution.   Is 2.0B the
    FTSSU03020.A?  If it is not I need to get the FTSSU03020.A saveset to
    my customer.   My dtn is 592-4512.

598.1FTSS V2.0-3 was not releasedGREGOR::OPPThu May 22 1997 21:2614
    	The FTSS kit to support installation on FT310/410/610/612 
    models for OpenVMS V6.2 was never released, as I recall.  I 
    believe it's FTSSU04020.A as the save set name.  I'm not sure
    how versions 2.0A and 2.0B relate to save set names.  My memory
    is fading, but I thought the released versions were 2.0 and 2.0-1.
    The field test kit for V2.0-3 included a patched FTSS image, which
    should be readily identifiable with ANAL/IMAGE.  
    
    	You should also be able to copy the latest version of VERIFY_
    VERSION.COM from RIGEL::FTSS$KITS:, providing you supply RIGEL's 
    new DECnet address in France.

598.3Released kits since "Day 1"GREGOR::OPPThu May 22 1997 21:3621
    	Here's the listing of the FTSS kits I found on RIGEL.  I 
    believe FTSSU04020.A is the kit for VMS V6.2.  However, I had
    left RSE by the time this kit was built and posted.  Another
    problem is that access to RIGEL::FTSS$KITS: is denied.  So, you
    may need to contact Alain Specty (see topic 592) to get a copy
    of the latest kit.

598.5Recommend V2.0-4GREGOR::OPPWed May 28 1997 13:336
    	To the best of my knowledge, FTSSU04020.A (V2.0-4) was released;
    FTSSU03020.A (V2.0-3) was not.  I would recommend using the V2.0-4 
    kit.  For confirmation, contact Roger Allen in RSE at PROXY::ALLEN.

598.6New node name = RIGELSEVMS::KMEYERWed Jun 04 1997 16:396
    Re .2: (FWIW)
    
    The new nodename for our old 610 friend is RIGELS (47.160).

    RIGEL is still registered as 29.816.  Apparently it wasn't de-registered. 
    It doesn't appear to be in use at present, but it could always be re-used.
