I haven't much info available at the moment as I have not had a chance to speak to the customer yet, but, has anybody heard of EMS installation going into a compute loop when parsing table file on VMS 6.1 ?? Regards Neal Evans

Neal, take care, the update process can take up to 8 hours, yes that is eight hours of sixty minutes. During all that time, the thing computes, computes, computes... Therefore we have to ask you to redo it and wait "long enough" to be sure it's an error. By-the-way, the dictionary updates were tested by our quality assurance team in different configurations, so there is at least 1 way in which it works. Dirk | |||||

Dirk, Thanks, I had not done an install myself and it was the customer who was devoid of any patience. He left it overnight, about 14 hours of sixty minutes !! All was ok after that. Thanks again Neal | |||||
