SUBJECT: Availability alerts displayed incorrectly

DATE: 2 May 1995

VERSIONS AFFECTED: 1.0

FIX AVAILABILITY: No fix available

PROBLEM REF: VAL029

SYMPTOMS:

BattleView incorrectly displays some availability alerts as though they
were produced from numeric rather than availability meters.

That is to say, the second panel in the alert box can contain the
value "0" or "1" instead of the words "Unavailable" or "Available".

KNOWN ERROR DESCRIPTION:

The problem applies to free-format availability alerts passed using the
VME UCV_SIGNAL_EVENT and UNIX ucsig interfaces in which the third 
character of the alert name prefix is "U" or "A".

BattleView fails to recognise the "U" or "A" and interprets the alert
as a numeric value.

No Ultracomp products are known to use this format of alert. 

Availability alerts generated by Sceptre-Overlord and Sceptre-UNIX are
not affected, and are displayed correctly.

Similarly, VVHC and MUAM alerts are not affected.

This problem will be corrected in a future release of BattleView.

AVOIDANCE NOTES:

None.

RECOVERY NOTES:

Not applicable.
