			RELEASE 2A CHANGES



     1  INTRODUCTION

     TRAFFIC-20 was introduced in May 1977 for  use  on  the  DECSYSTEM-20.
     The  product  included  both  screen formatting routines (TFR, TFRCOB,
     TFRTRM, TFRUNV) and data routing routines (IP20).  A  second  release  of
     TRAFFIC-20 was issued in December, 1978 in order to:

          1.  Make the TRAFFIC routines work with COBOL V12.

          2.  Add  functionality  which  has  been  suggested  by   several
              customers.

          3.  Correct problems.


     Now a Maintenance release to Version 2 is being made to provide
     a clean product to the field.  The purpose of this release is
     not new functionality, but to achieve these goals:

	  1. To take advantage of new TOPS-20 release 4 features

	  2. To avoid a KS processor microcode bug

	  3. To correct problems

    A history of the new patches is in the .DOC file.
