The Problem with Glanceix not running on MPE/iX 7.0 Factory Preloaded
Systems appears to be a manufacturing problem, not a software problem with
Glanceix.  It is my understanding that customers reporting the problem will
be (have been?) sent a STORE tape with the Glanceix program file that does
not have the manufacturing-induced corruption.  GlanceiX was tested with MPE
7.0 extensively and it performs correctly when installed from normal SUBSYS
tapes and/or Patch files.  Only the special manufacturing process that
creates the Factory Preload Tape (CSLT) has an apparent problem with
GlanceiX.  This probably due to the fact that there are two versions of
Glanceix, a Trial Period Demonstration version and a full production
version.  HP is currently working on the problem and will be shipping
corrective tapes to all customers involved.

I do not know about TERMDSM,
