52.0. "VMS V5 support for ZAP?" by VAOA01::COATES () Mon Jun 13 1988 20:24

    Following a very good suggestion (I hope!) I am placing the attached    
    query here that I posted in the OASSETS conference.                      
                                                                             
    Any comments on ZAP running under VMS V5?                                
                                                                             
    Cheers!

    RE .6
    
    I have been told by people more knowledgable than I that ZAP will
    probably not work on V5 (something to do with changed data structures
    and priviledged code, etc). We have a customer very interested in
    purchasing but I'm hesitant to recommend using ZAP if it has a lifetime
    of a few months.
    
    Is there any work being done/ planned/ even thought of in terms
    of an idle process monitor compatible with VMS V5?
    
    Cheers!

52.1ZAP V3.8 under VMS V5.0NRADM::MACONIThe DoctorMon Jun 20 1988 11:0115
    ZAP V3.8 does work under VMS V5.0
    
    I have tested ZAP V3.8 as follows:
    
    	A scratch installation of VMS V5.0 was done and the ZAP V3.8
    kit was installed.  ZAP V3.8 worked without any errors.
    
    	A VMS V4.7 VAXcluster was upgraded to VMS V5.0.  ZAP V3.8 was
    already installed on the VAXcluster and it continued to work without
    errors after the upgrade.
    
    	ZAP does not "poke" around in system space.  It uses standard,
    supported system calls to obtain all of its data.
