86.0. "ZAP 4.2 release notes?" by POLAR::HUTCH (Mike Hutchings, Kanata MIS) Sat Oct 20 1990 19:15

   I just pulled ZAP 4.2 from assets. I found no release notes in the doc set.
   Can you post a list of changes from ZAP 4.1?

   Also in the files I received there was no longer a User's Guide. Is this one
   of the changes?

Release notes for ZAP Version 4.0

       1. Bug fixes or problems resolved by this release

          a. The terminal name field was increased from 7 to 8
             characters to support VMS V5.2.

          b. All file access was converted to read only with
             sharing to allow concurrent access to the data files.

       2. Known bugs or restrictions

          None

       3. Changes from last release

          a. /image switch now used to indicate action to be taken
             when stopping a process.

          b. /ignore_suspended switch now used to indicate how to
             deal with suspended processes.

          c. The PAUSE command was added to the allowable ZAP$RUN_STATUS
             values to allow ZAP to be held during certain periods.

          d. Zap now requires the setprv privilege in order to grant
             that privilege to jobs created by the /image switch.

          e. The Zap log file (ZAP$DIR:ZAP.DAT) is now written the
             same as any batch job.  This means that it may be viewed
             while Zap is running.

       4. Documentation changes and omissions

          a. The user guide and installation manual have now been
             combined and are supplied in both LN03 and POSTSCRIPT
             formats.
