The latest version of ZAP, V5.3, has been submitted to ASSETS for
distribution. This new version contains the following changes:
o Version 5.3 incorrectly matched strings, such as
Nodename and Username, when wildcards were not
involved. This has been corrected.
o The INSWAP parameter was negated in previous versions.
This has been corrected.
o A final exception rule was added that grants all
processes unlimited idle time. This was done to
prevent processes from dropping through the rules and
generating warning messages in the log file.
o Although this version supports AXP VMS, it does not
support DECwindows grouping under AXP VMS.
________________________Note ________________________
DECwindows processes on an AXP system will not be
grouped by display name as on VAX VMS systems.
_____________________________________________________
This new version continues to use the V5.2 LMF pak.

I just requested ZAP thru ASSETS_US. You may interested to know that I received BOTH version 5.2 and 5.3. Somehow I don't think this is how it is supposed to work. Also I received the zap 5.3 source saveset. I recall the general release of these sources was not normally intentional. Has this been changed? Mike | |||||

Hi, No, the policy has not changed. It must be a mistake. I forwarded your note to the Assets group. Thanks, Keith Maconi | |||||
| 150.3 | Whoops! | SOLVIT::ROHNERT | Fri May 06 1994 03:18 | 8 | |
Thank you for catching this one.
My error, I have several versions of ZAP that I am keeping track of and
had not yet copied the new version to its correct subdirectory.
Thanks again and please delete your sources and 5.2
Best Regards,
Dick Rohnert

A problem has been detected with ZAP kits built before today (5-Aug-94). The problem is that kits prior to V5.3-1 contain a bug that can allow you to configure ZAP to kill system processes. In addition, some people seem to have received the V5.3-1 test kit which was used to correct the problem. Please upgrade to a kit dated 5-Aug-94 (or greater when released). New kits can be obtained from ZAPDEV::DISK$KITS:[ZAP] (for internal use only) or via Assets. | |||||
