Dear SCO Customer, Support Level Supplement (SLS) PTF7004A, the UnixWare 7 Language Extension Supplement, corrects problems with the configuration of the Verity search engine within SCOhelp and with the localization of various utilities and SCOadmin managers. SLS PTF7004A modifies the following packages in UnixWare 7: Base System (base) French Language Extensions (frle) German Language Extensions (dele) Japanese Language Extensions (jale) Spanish Language Extensions (esle) If you are about to install any of these packages, quit the installation of SLS PTF7004A, install these packages first, and then install this SLS. Please note which packages are affected by SLS PTF7004A. If you later install any of these packages on your system, you must reinstall this SLS to get the fixes for these packages. Solution Specifics ------------------ The following issues have been addressed by PTF7004A: 1. Many message catalogs have been corrected or updated for French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. 2. Problems running Netscape Navigator and CDE in the Spanish locale have been corrected. 3. The Search button in Scohelp sometimes displayed the message "Unexpected initialization error" instead of the search interface. SLS PTF7004A contains a fix that should correct this problem in most instances. 4. The Options available within SCOhelp's Verity search engine could display "undefined" language checkboxes, and the language corresponding to a user's locale might not be available for searching. The version of SCOhelp in this SLS will correctly display configured languages for searching. 5. The SCOhelp HTTP server configuration file, lang.conf, now correctly uses "ja" instead of "jp" as the locale name for Japanese.
