Dear SCO Customer,

Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7640a, the UnixWare 7.0.1, 7.1.0, 7.1.1 
vxslicer Supplement, addresses the following problem:

The root disk cannot be encapsulated due to a gap between dump and swap.
The gap is created during a previous attempt to encapsulate the root drive,
and results from the use of swap as a temporary working area during 
escapsulation. If the swap is large enough, the end track lies beyond the
2GB limit from the start of the encapsulation area. Since vxslicer is not
large file capable, this can result in transfer errors.
