HP ELOQUENCE A.06.20 - patch 9903081

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch fixes a problem with the eloqcore program for the Linux 
and WIN32 platform. This patch will be integrated in a subsequent 
HP Eloquence release.
A.06.20 must be installed before applying this patch.

This patch replaces patches PE62-9902190 (linux, libc6) and 
PE62-9902171 (win32).


Fixed problems:
---------------

Platforms: Linux and Win32.

* MAT A=B could copy excessive elements if the target array had 
  more elements than source array. This could lead to subsequent
  failure due to garbaged contents if the target array was 
  REDIMmed afterwards.

* DUMP SEGMENTS statement causes a segment violation or GPF if 
  the main segment is empty.
  
  DUMP SEGMENTS is an unsupported statement, originally created for
  debugging purposes, which can be used to display subroutines and 
  functions currently present in memory.

  Usage: DUMP SEGMENTS [numeric_arg]
  If numeric_arg is nonzero, the file from which the subprogram was
  loaded is displayed in addition.


Patch PE62-9902190
------------------

Platforms: Linux (libc6)

* ERRMSG$(n) causes a segmentation violation.


Patch PE62-9902171
------------------

Platforms: Windows 9x and NT

* When used with the current HP Eloquence IDE or eqstart utility,
  the old eloqcore was unable to redirect its error output into
  the IDE's output window if a character mode program was executed.

  NOTE: This patch is required if patch PE62-9902172 is installed.
