                     Release 5.2 Release Notes

                     October 28, 1993



                     This document contains a list of new and changed
                     features, known software and documentation error
                     and undocumented usage hints for DEC ZAP for VMS
                     Release 5.2.

        1 Problems corrected

              The following list summarizes the problems that have been
              corrected in the 5.2 release of ZAP.

              o  Due to a change in DECwindows, the proper action for
                 removing a group of DECwindows processes has changed.
                 This version incorporates this change in behavior.

              o  The START action now clears all process information.

              o  The monitor now only looks at the logical name ZAP$RUN_
                 STATUS in executive mode. This prevents users from
                 defining this logical in one mode and the monitor not
                 being able to reset it.

              o  The IDLE_IMAGE configuration parameter did not work.
                 This has been corrected.

        2 New and Changed Features

              The following list summarizes the changes and additional
              functions in the 5.2 release of ZAP.

              o  An LMF license is now required for this version of ZAP.

              o  In order to safeguard systems, a rule has been coded
                 into ZAP which prevents it from killing key system
                 processes. These are detached processes which are the
                 [1,4] UIC.

              o  Process terminations now result in the process record
                 being cleared from memory, which will result in
                 the idle time being reset if the process does not
                 get deleted for any reason. This allows user action
                 routines more time to kill processes.

                                                                       1

Alpha VMS is not yet supported with this release (although the release notes
mistakenly indicate so).  Plans are to include support for it in the next
release.

	The next release will include Alpha VMS support.
