	I have  put off posting this until we had an even more complete
	list, but I  guess  we  should  make  what  we  have available.
	Please understand that there  are even more things in V1.2 than
	are pointed to here.  The list will be updated as we have time.

    Can you give us lay people some further explanation of all of the
    changes that you have in this list?
    
    Thanks Dave

	Come to  Net  U  in  Boston  on  Feb  3rd,  I'll present it and
	show/demo V1.2.

	We don't have time to elaborate all the items at this time.  If
	you have a question on one (or  two)  in particular that we can
	give a short answer to, ask it here  and we'll do our best.  If
	it needs a long explanation, we'll turn you over  to  the  user
	doc sets.

2017.4new datatypes?COOKIE::KITTELLRichard - Architected Info MgmtFri Jan 10 1992 16:5112
John,

The new features list conflicts with statements in the T1.2.4 Toolkit
release notes. For instance, the new features list includes MCC_K_DT_LOCAL_ENTITY
and MCC_K_DT_ENTITY_CLASS, yet section 3.2.1 of the release notes (FCL) still
say "not supported" for those datatypes.

Perhaps kernel support for the datatypes has been added, hence the entry on
the new features list? Even so, if FCL can't handle them, we can hardly use
them and tell our customer "don't use FCL".

Thanks for any clarification you can make.

	Richard,

	I had  asked  Jill  Callander,  FCL  P/L  for  the  list of new
	datatypes supported by  the  FCL  and  what  you see in the new
	features list is what she had given me.

	I will ask Jill  to  respond to this note and have her give you
	the "facts".  I'm assuming  that  it  may  be a skewing problem
	with either the Toolkit release note  being off, or Jill saying
	it'll be in V1.2, but isn't in the current FT.  No matter, I'll
	have Jill clarify.

2017.6datatype updateTOOK::CALLANDERMCC = My Constant CompanionWed Jan 15 1992 17:437
    The list John has are those that will be in the V1.2 product, and did
    not all necessarily make it into the field test kit. The field test kit
    does have entity class in there but we recently found a problem with it
    on the ultrix kit, which is holding up the release of the attibute and
    attribute id datatypes. As to local entity we are still working on it,
    but it is expected to make the final product.
