4290.0. "CDA Interoperability kit questions (again)" by GIDDAY::JOYCE (Digital CSC Sydney) Fri Jun 24 1994 02:12

Okay, another dumb question (that's been asked several times in this conference
already but I don't understand the answers!)...

What IS the CDA Interoperability kit?

Specifically...

1)	What does "higher functionality" (quoted from Install Guide) actually
	mean?  What conversions/formats are/aren't supported with/without it?

2)	If I've already got >V1.4 CDA Base Services on my system, do I need
	to install the CDA Interoperabilty Kit?

3)	What's the relationship betwen the new formats supplied in MUPA and the
	CDA Interoperabilty Kit?

Thanks, Andy

    None are unsupported, it's just that the results were not very good. The
    kit gives you the CDA components that went into DECwindows/Motif V1.0
    but for the XUI version of DECwindows.

    Maybe.  You only need to install it if you use the old XUI DECwindows, or
    V1.0 of DECwindows/Motif (the kit also contains a patch to the motif
    CDA$ACCESS.EXE .)  Attempting to install it will do no harm, since it
    checks the versions anyway and won't install if it doesn't need to.

>3)	What's the relationship betwen the new formats supplied in MUPA and the

    None, the interoperability kit updates the CDA base components.

    Cheers,
        Paul.
