409.0. "V5.1-T2 activation of V5.1 images?" by ORCAS::HORMAN (Entrenchment in Excellence) Wed Mar 15 1989 17:23

    Please don't form a lynch mob, I searched this conference, the
    old DW conference, and VMSNOTES with no success.
                                                   
    I'm trying to get executables linked under SDC V5.1 to run under
    V5.1-T2; of course I get an ident mismatch. Tried patching the image
    headers (dep/b 193=43) but for some reason this didn't work. Any
    advice gratefully received.

What I did was to copy the VMS V5.1-B savesets to 
DKA300:[000000] and run the VMS upgrade from disk.  I did this because V5.1 SDC
( and V5.1-B) breaks the TK50 on the PVAX.  BTW - Atlanta CSC says that the FCO
for the "seed unit" PVAXen will be available early next week.

    Thanks, but I guess I should have added...

    P.S. If there's a PVAX anywhere within 1000 miles, I have yet to
    hear of it! I'm puttering along on a VS2000.

Where did you get the offset to patch?  It differs from
image to image depending on what order other sharable
images happen to have been linked in.  And which images
are you trying to patch?
