HP ELOQUENCE A.06.20 - patch 9905190 (Windows 9x and NT only)

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

This patch applies to the HP Eloquence IDE and the eqstart utility
for Windows 9x and NT as released with A.06.20. This patch will be
integrated in a subsequent HP Eloquence release.

A.06.20 must be installed before applying this patch.

NOTE: This patch requires installation of patch PE62-9903081 or a
      more recent eloqcore patch. Eloqcore as released with A.06.20
      may crash (GPF) if used with the current IDE or eqstart.

This patch replaces the patch PE62-9902172.


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

Platforms: Windows 9x and NT

* An internal overflow condition caused a GPF in the HP Eloquence IDE
  when a directory was displayed in the Explore window which
  contained a file with an invalid modification date.

* In rare situations, a GPF was caused when the Explore window was
  opened. An assumption was made concerning the network hierarchy
  which was not always true. This has been fixed by re-implementing
  the enumeration algorithm more defensively.

* Although eloqcore supports character mode programs since A.06.20,
  the HP Eloquence IDE and the eqstart utility did not support this
  mode (the eloqcore window was always hidden).

  In the IDE, the Debug Session Setup dialog now provides an
  additional checkbox named "Hide local EloqCORE console window"
  which is checked by default in order to provide backward
  compatibility.

  If this is unchecked, eloqcore is automatically invoked with the
  -f (force foreground) option and the console window appears
  whenever a debug session is started. Thus, character mode programs
  can be debugged.

  In the eqstart utility, the configuration dialog provides this
  checkbox, too, which serves the same purpose.
