1321.0. "BOOKreader files deleted by V2 FT1 installation" by MNATUR::LISTON () Tue Aug 22 1989 11:11

    I just upgraded my VAXstation II/GPX from T5.2-1 and V1 of DW to
    V2 FT1 of DW.  In doing so the installation blew away the online
    documentation files I had placed in the directory pointed to by 
    the DECW$BOOK logical.  I placed a couple of the frequently referenced
    manuals there.  It also replaced the LIBRARY.DECW$BOOKSHELF
    file.  Is this something I should QAR or am I just not reading the
    right FM.  I didn't see any reference to this side effect in the
    release notes nor am I aware of any restrictions on placing files in
    this directory.  The installation procedure executes a INSTALL_APPS.COM
    which goes out and deletes everything in DECW$BOOK if it finds any 
    files in the directory.


    Thanks,
    Kevin
