1152.0. "BADSPEC ON DECW$C32X32.DECWFONT ON V5.1-1 UPGRADE" by COMICS::FARROW_SMITH () Fri Jul 21 1989 05:36
Hi Folks,
I've a customer who is running VMS v5.1 and has taken the option to install
DECWINDOWS, however, without the DEVICE SUPPORT OPTION. A problem arose when he
came to upgrade to v5.1-1. Fix 29 applies miscellaneous fixes to DECWINDOWS
(seven fixes in all), the forth of these fixes is to DECW$C32X32.DEC W$FONT
this is part of the DEVICE SUPPORT OPTION it failed with :
VMSINSTAL-E-BADSPEC , file specification DECW$C32X32.DECW$FONT
cannot be parsed
The real problem was that the remaining patches were not applied. On looking
at the DECW$GBINSTAL.VUG, in the saveset VMS02051.C, it was found that if an
error occurred it would just drop out the procedure rather than applying the
next fix.
Is this the intended behaviour?

please submit a QAR, so thatthis behaviour can either be documented
correctly or fixed in a later release.
