1789.0. "why is replacing BASRTL.EXE additional (V3.8) ?" by VNABRW::KARTNER_M (HOUSTON, we have a problem) Fri Feb 14 1997 05:50

    Hi!
    
    A customer has gradet up to VAX BASIC V3.8.
    
    The release Notes state in point 
    
    5) additional Installation Considerations
    
    	to replace the BASRTL.EXE image.
    
    Could there be resulting problems if doing so ? Becouse if there
    are no reasons for NOT TO REPLACE the image it should be done
    in any case during the installation (becouse you get errors like
    "not implemented yet"
    
    Are there some things the customer has to be awere of after
    replacing the image ?
    
    								thanks

1789.1Replacing RTL not required for old applicationsTLE::HAYNESFri Feb 14 1997 16:4511
Michael,

	A customer only has to replace the BASRT.EXE image if he
	wants to use the new DATE4$ function which supplies four
	digit years.

	Unfortunately the procedure in the release notes for replacing
	the RTL is incorrect.  Please refer to note #1786 for the correct
	procedure.
