I tried building a fresh V3.1 system pack using the V3
distribution tape and the following floppies:

AS-N205A-BE	VAX/VMS MANDATORY BIN RX1	(VMSV300)

AS-N461A-BE	VAX/VMS V3.1 BIN RX1 1/5	(VMSV310)
	thru
AS-N465A-BE	   "	  "   "	  "  5/5

AS-P322A-BE	VAX/VMS MAND UPD V3.1 RX1	(VMSV311)

There seems to be a conflict between VMSV300 and VMSV310--
VMSV300 consists of
	LOGINOUT	ECO 2 and ECO 3
	SYS		ECO 3 and ECO 4
VMSV310 includes the LOGINOUT ECOs of VMSV300, but there is no
ECO 3 for SYS and ECO 4 is entirely different!  I suspect that
both changes to SYS in VMSV300 should have been lumped together
as ECO 3.

(I'm considering the resulting system image corrupt.  Next week
 a "remastered" V3.2 tape will fall into my lap [oof!] and I'll
 see how well it performs.  I would nevertheless like to know
 the story behind the V3.1 updates; any enlightenment would be
 appreciated.  Please reply to the list. --EPS)
