Subject: ZCPR3 Bugs

       Several bugs have been reported and verified in some ZCPR3
tools.  These bugs will be corrected.  Until such corrections are
issued, however, Echelon is publishing a list of these bugs in their
newsletter so the community will be aware of them and not surprised if
they encounter them.  I will be posting this newsletter (as well as
the others) to the net as I receive them.

       One bug reported with MENU, where when the user strikes an
invalid menu option immediately followed by a CR, is serious enough
(especially for those who want to use MENU for RCPM operation) that
the changes to the source code required to correct this bug will be
posted in a newsletter before the new MENU is released.

       The current plans are to release the Phase 2 software VERY
SOON NOW.  I am cleaning up the doc (HLP files) on Z3LIB and making
sure that all of the doc is in place and correct on the tools.

       The book is coming along ... my publisher is very, very busy
with it.  No major hitches so far.  The book will cover all of the
ZCPR3 software (both phase 1 and phase 2).  I am currently in contract
negotiations for the second book, which is dedicated to the libraries
available under ZCPR3.

       Some time after the Phase 2 release, a "bug disk" will be
released thru Echelon (I will see that a copy gets into SIG/M and
SIMTEL20).  I suspect a 1-2 month gap between Phase 2 and the "bug
disk".  Echelon is acting as THE central, configuration control point
for ZCPR3.  If you want to report an alleged bug or recommend a change
to a tool, please do so thru Echelon.  You can do it thru me, but it
is much, much easier on me if Echelon handles it so that I can go
ahead with the rest of the work and see only one copy of each bug
report/request.
