Dear SCO Customer,

Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7441e, the libmas supplement, contains
modifications to the libmas library. It now uses strerror() rather than
sys_nerr/sys_errlist.

SLS ptf7441e addresses this problem:

libmas.so used the obsolete sys_nerr/sys_errlist mechanism rather than
the modern and internationalized strerror().  sys_nerr/sys_errlist is only
defined in the archive part of libc (/usr/ccs/lib/libc.so) and not in the
dynamic part of libc (/usr/lib/libc.so.1).

As a result it is not visible to dynamic libraries that have been dlopen'd, 
which is the case with Java native methods.

This new version of SLS ptf7441 allows for an installation using quiet mode.  
For more information, see the Installation Instructions section below.

SLS ptf7441e contains these files:

        /usr/lib/libmas.so
        /usr/lib/libmas.a

Note: libmas.a is part of the usoftint package. If that package is going to
      be installed, then installation of this SLS should be suspended until
      after the installation of usoftint.


Software Notes and Recommendations
----------------------------------

SLS ptf7441e should only be installed on: 

        UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.1


Installation Instructions
-------------------------

1. Download the ptf7441e.Z file to the /tmp directory on your machine.

2. As root, uncompress the file and add the SLS package to your
   system using these commands:

        $ su
        Password: <type your root password>
        # uncompress /tmp/ptf7441e.Z
        # pkgadd -d /tmp/ptf7441e
        #rm /tmp/ptf7441e

Alternatively the package has the option of being installed in quiet
mode, that is, without displaying the release notes and asking for
installation confirmation. This is accomplished by:

        $ su
        Password: <type your root password>
        # uncompress /tmp/ptf7441e.Z
        # pkgadd -qd /tmp/ptf7441e all
        # rm /tmp/ptf7441e

3. There is no need to reboot the system after installing this SLS package.

The release notes displayed prior to installation can be found in:

        /var/sadm/pkg/ptf7441/install/ptf7441.txt


Removal Instructions
--------------------

1. As root, remove the SLS package using these commands:

        $ su
        Password: <type your root password>
        # pkgrm ptf7441

2. There is no need to reboot the system after removing this SLS package.
