General info
------------
     You will need to have a License PAK with a release date after the date of
  this libpmdf.so to run PMDF.  Note that this may apply to other images as 
  well.

     When FTPing these images, be sure to FTP them as binary images.  Before
  retrieving such an image with the GET command, be sure to put your FTP into
  binary mode with a command such as TYPE IMAGE or TYPE BINARY.

     If you are using the DIRSYNC product, you will need to fetch the newer
  images listed on the AA_DIRSYNC_PATCHES.HTML page.


Change history
--------------
23-Mar-2000
  Made an enhancement whereby Date: fields with invalid time zone information
  will simply be converted to GMT by PMDF.


Installation
------------
OpenVMS

  Not applicable


Solaris, Tru64 UNIX

     Before installing a new libpmdf.so, issue the following command:

        # pmdf shutdown

     Failure to issue the above command could result in the current processes
  not recognizing commands (i.e., restart and shutdown) with the new 
  libpmdf.so in place.

     To install the new shared library, place it into the /pmdf/lib/ directory
  and then execute the following commands:

        # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so
        # chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so

     In some cases new versions of libpmdf.so may alter the format of compiled
  configurations. When this happens recompilation is also necessary:
 
        # pmdf cnbuild -option

     Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions of 
  libpmdf.so may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch" errors.

     Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command:

        # pmdf startup
