VMS 4.7 has been shipping since jan 1st, We got it 3 days ago and I have put it up on our LAVC with no problems. It fixes a number of LATSYM bugs and also fixes a DHU-11 hanging terminal bug. The Kit consists patches and a few replaced images. Contrary to what all the press has been saying, VMS 4.7 does not symetric multiprocessing. (How they could have believed that is beyond me seeing that SMP involves major changes to the executive.) Putting it up is easy.. No products need to be reinstalled except for the LAVC and Volume Shadowing Keys. (they supplied new encripted versions of those drivers) - Andrew W.
