4187.0. "Does 5.0E Include DCPS 1.2 or 1.0B?" by TOHOPE::CARZELL_M () Mon Mar 03 1997 17:38

    Hi!
    
    According to the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) 5.0E Release Notes
    DCPS 1.2 is included with the software.  
    
    			\\\\\..... ..... ...../////
    
   2.2 DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS                                      
                                                                    
               DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS V1.2 is included    
               on separate media as a separately installable product            
               called DCPSVAX012 for VAX systems, and DCPSAXP012 for    
               Alpha systems.               
                                                                     
               DECprint Supervisor provides access to the OpenVMS         
               queuing system for selected PostScript printers. For more     
               information about the DECprint Supervisor, refer to the         
               DECprint Supervisor documentation.

    However, when you take a look at the savesets it has the following...

    These are the 1.0B savesets, right?
    
    Inquiring customers would like to know.  Were the wrong files included
    on the distribution media?
    
    Thanks!

Well how about that!

SWOPS definitly has the wrong savesets...

We are trying to determine what SSB shipped to the customers, I can't find a 
copy of the media shipped to customers, anyone out there have one handy who
can look at what was shipped?

FWIW, it seems like this may have been in error on 5.0D also.

4187.2Thanks for checkingSUFRNG::CARZELL_MWed Mar 05 1997 19:236

    The SSB media includes the DCPS*010.% savesets. Not V1.1, not V1.2, and 
    not V1.3 (which is the current version).
    
    To make things even more confusing, the release notes say:
    
    "             This software kit includes support for both VAX and Alpha
                  systems and consists of the following BACKUP savesets:
    
                 
    __________________________________________________________
                 
    Saveset_Name________OpenVMS_System________________________
    
    [...]
                  DCPSAXP012.A        Alpha
    
                  DCPSAXP012.B        Alpha
    
                  DCPSAXP012.C        Alpha
    
                  DCPSVAX012.A        VAX
    
                  DCPSVAX012.B        VAX
    
                  DCPSVAX012.C        VAX"
    
    and:
    
                 "This release of PATHWORKS for OpenVMS is distributed as
                  part of the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS software kit, which
                  includes the following:
    
                  o  PATHWORKS V5.0E for OpenVMS (LAN Manager), software
    
                  o  PATHWORKS V1.0E for OpenVMS (NetWare), software
    
                  o  Separately installable improved OpenVMS file system
                     (XQP+)
    
                  o  Separately installable PATHWORKS license server
    
                  o  DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS Version 1.3"
    
      
    Oooooops!

4187.4SSB is fixing thisCPEEDY::GTAYLORFri Mar 21 1997 21:0316
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The kit is being fixed now.   2
things happened here:

1. SSB decided not to re-ship the separate DCPS CD to the update customer list
(They already had DCPS). New customers receive the kit, but update customers do
not.

2. We happened to have DCPS V1.0 in the same location that the kit was pulled
by SSB - so it was included on the same CD as PATHWORKS.
    
This is being fixed now. We will not re-ship the kit however.
