        When is the External FT2 due?

1358.2Same time as VMS V5.3 EFT should be a good guessSTOAT::BARKERJeremy Barker - NAC Europe - REO2-G/J2Wed Sep 13 1989 21:306
The EFT of VMS V5.3 is due "real soon"  (see the VAXWRK::VMS_FIELD_TESTS 
conference).  It would be very reasonable to assume that DECwindows EFT 
will appear at the same time.

1358.3STAR::ORGOVANVince OrgovanFri Sep 15 1989 20:013
    VMS DECwindows V2 External field test update (EFT2) is bundled with 
    the external field test of VMS V5.3.

        And is that released yet?

1358.6CASEE::LACROIXObject oriented dog food? No, sorryTue Sep 19 1989 13:426
    5.3 IFT refused to be installed on top of T5.2-1... Do I need to
    install V5.2-1 first, or is there something else I can do?

    Thanks,
    Denis.

    Now that V5.2-1 is available internally, upgrading to that first is
    your best bet.  It installs fast, usually 30 minutes or less.  Most
    of us that upgraded to X5.3 from T5.2-1 used completely unsupported
    methods to do so.  They worked, but should be a moot point now that
    V5.2-1 is out.
