Release Notes - Version 1.03
Thu Dec  3 14:05:04 PST 1998

This version of SPECjvm98 is released
as a new CD replacing the 1.0 version,
and also as a downloadable patch that
you may install on top of a SPECjvm98
1.0 installation to update it to
version 1.03.  E.g., select as the
installation directory the same
directory where you installed the
full suite, and answer YES to
overwrite existing files.

Problems fixed in this release:

Bug 14: Cannot browse source code from a web server
Fix: chmod a+r spec/benchmarks/* spec/benchmarks/*/*

Bug 15: _213_javac fails due to hardcoded path names
Fix: Source code change listed below.

Bug 16: Superfluous subdirectory
Fix: rm -rf spec/benchmarks/_228_jack/spec

Bug 18: Wrong path names are constructed on NT
See READMEbug18.txt for a workaround
to this problem. Symptom: JVM98 won't
run and cannot find files with names
like /C:/jvm98/.props/user

Bug 19: Wrong release number in documentation
Fix: In doc/support.html delete ",JVM
Client98 release 1.01,"

Bug 27: Text files have UNIX line termination
Fix: Use InstallShield feature to
translate line endings of *.txt files
at time of installation.

Bug 28: UNIX scripts are installed without execute permission
Fix: Use InstallShield extension to
change permission back during installation.


In this update the scripts that run JVM98
as an application are generated at installation
time by InstallShield, 'run' for UNIX and
'run.bat' for Windows. These will probably be
more reliable than our previous scripts,
which are renamed, 'run1.sh' for UNIX and
'run1.bat' for Windows.

This update also includes enhancements to
the reporting page generating program.
