- 1992, not 1993. The problem is with the way the RSX queue system stores
- dates. As far as I know, DEC has a patch kit _for_ _sale_ that works with
- the current revision(s?) of RSX. I am told that the patch is not available
- from DSIN/DSNlink, but will be included in a future RSX release. Further,
- versions of the patch kit released before mid-December genereate an odd
- address trap due to a coding problem.
-
- That's about all I know about it, as I'm running RSTS/E, not RSX. You
- should probably talk to whoever you get your RSX support/updates from for
- DEC's exact position on the issue.
