This is an update to my November 3 post on the DDX problem.

In that post, I said, "We have developed a fix for TurboIMAGE that
removes this [DDX] defect.  Patches will be created for MPE/iX 5.0 and
MPE/iX 5.5.  The MPE/iX 5.0 patch is TurboIMAGE version C.06.23 and has
Patch ID TIXKX11.  The patch for MPE/iX 5.5 is TurboIMAGE version
C.07.07, has Patch ID TIXKX13, and is built on the version of IMAGE
released on MPE/iX 5.5 Express 3.  Customers who use DDX and think they
may be susceptible to the problem described ... can request either of
these beta patches from the HP Response Center."

The news:

1) The patch built for MPE/iX 5.0 -- TurboIMAGE C.06.23, patch ID
TIXKX11A -- is being put into GR (general release) status this week.

2) TurboIMAGE C.07.07, patch ID "family" TIXKX13, was found to be
defective, although no customer who installed the patch encountered the
problem.  The replacement for C.07.07 is TurboIMAGE C.07.09.  (Customers
who had been given the C.07.07 patches have been notified that they
should take and use C.07.09 instead.)  The TurboIMAGE C.07.09 patches
are now available, in beta status.  They are TIXKX45A for MPE/iX 5.0 and
TIXKX45B for MPE/iX 5.5.

Special note for MPE/iX 5.0 users:  Such customers would only choose to
install TurboIMAGE C.07.09 (TIXKX45A) if they want the DDX fix AND the
new features shipped to 5.5 users on Express 3 (B-Trees, ODBCLink/SE,
etc.).  In that case, they also need to install the "G2" versions of
IMAGE/SQL and ALLBASE/SQL, which contain related changes.  However, in
other cases, these customers can get the DDX fix (without the new
features) in TurboIMAGE C.06.23 (TIXKX11A), now in general release.
