                 BEWARE INFORMATION FOR FORTRAN-20                              
  
  
                     BEWARE INFORMATION FOR EDIT 2056   IN FOROTS               
  
Edit 2056 to FOROTS, together with several later edits,  ensures  that
random  files created on TOPS10 do not have their last block padded to
the block boundary.  It should be noted these edits cause  new  random
files  to  be  the size of the exact number of words that are written,
but existing random files that  have  been  written  with  V6  FORTRAN
previous to this edit will remain padded to the block boundary.

                     BEWARE INFORMATION FOR EDIT 2075   IN FOROTS               
  
     Due to changes in GALAXY it is necessary to copy  the  version  2
GALAXY's  QSRMAC.UNV to a file named QSRMC2.UNV before loading version
4.1 of GALAXY onto the system.  Secondly, edit 2075 to  FOROPN  should
be  applied.   This  edit  changes  the  search  list  to  search  for
QSRMC2.UNV to resolve symbol definitions.  These two actions  must  be
taken  in order to build FOROTS no matter which of the GALAXY versions
will be used at runtime.
     These steps are necessary  because  FOROPN  searches  the  module
QSRMAC.UNV  to  define  some  of  its  symbols.   However,  the QSRMAC
supplied with version 4.1 of GALAXY does not define  all  the  symbols
FOROPN  is  expecting  the  module  to  define.  FOROPN is designed to
handle both version 2 and version  4.1  of  GALAXY,  however,  certain
symbols  are  used  with version 2 that are not used with version 4.1.
Since the decision as to which version of GALAXY is to be executed  is
not  determined  until  runtime, all symbols for both versions must be
defined in order to successfully assemble FOROPN.

                     BEWARE INFORMATION FOR EDIT 2113   IN FOROTS               
  
REMOVE EDIT 2063
Edit 2113 to FOROTS removes an earlier Edit 2063 which has been found to
cause many problems when the  ?Incompatible attributes error message  is
output on  TOPS-10.  The  earlier edit  sought to  correct one  instance
where junk  is  output  as  part  of  this  message;  unfortunately,  in
correcting  one  case,  it  broke  others.   Sites  which  have  already
installed the earlier  edit will find  that it is  not included in  this
autopatch release.  We will  be including an edit  which fixes both  the
original problem addressed  by Edit  2063 and  subsequent problems  with
this error message in a forthcoming autopatch tape.
