This is the first release of the Percepta Management Console for the Premium 
SE and MTE servers.

The 3 diskettes contain mostly compressed files which are installed on a 
desktop system by use of the setup program contained on disk 1.
Disk 2 contains the Management Console executable for SE systems.
Disk 3 contains the Management Console executable for MTE systems.

The purpose of this release is Production Release the 1.12 version of Percepta 
for the SE and MTE servers.  The version is called 1.12 to coordinate this 
application with other 1.12 releases of Percepta for other server types such 
as the Manhattan P and G.


DISCLAIMERS

Although every precaution has been taken to provide a quality program, problems 
with Percepta may be encountered.  When in doubt about the validity of a 
Percepta failure, or if you have questions about the operation of the program, 
please do not hesitate to contact the Server Software group.


ERRATA

This version of the program will snap-in to the NMS console.  You can only 
launch one server at a time in NMS.  If you attempt to start more than one 
server, the system will display a message about running out of memory.  
A subsequent release will fix this problem.  You will be able to down load it 
from the AST BBS.

If you open and then close a window too quickly, you may experience a General 
Protection Fault with the Percepta application.  This will not occur if you 
open a view and wait until all information is displayed before closing it.  
This is the normal mode of operation expected.
