Software Release Notes Page 116
25 When there is more than one pipe connected to a single fanout with
two or more live links and you disable one link, all links no longer
become “disabled.”
26 On the Windows NT platform, when you attempt to modify colors that
utilize a third-party tool kit, the new color defaults no longer adversely
affect some of the background colors in the Enterprise Alarm
Manager, Client View, and User Editor applications. In addition,
changing the default font to a larger font no longer causes an overflow
in text fields making labels and data unreadable.
27 On the Windows NT platform, drop down menus could become hidden
behind the “Start Bar” thus hiding menu picks.
28 On the Windows NT platform, when you run RepGRFtoGif from the
command line, you no longer receive a fatal error.
29 Accent keys such as the apostrophe, tick mark and the caret now
works properly on Windows NT.
30 When you manually create a device in a Topology view and manually
connect the device to a network icon, the Off Page Reference icon of
that device no longer remains.
31 On all platforms, control keys now work if the Num Lock key is on.
32 A dialog message has been added in SPECTRUM instructing you to
restart the SpectroGRAPH if the Enterprise Alarm Manager detects
one has not yet been started.
Known SpectroGRAPH Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0

Solution: To eliminate the error message and to use the Ins (Insert) key
for Paste and Copy functionality on older Sun keyboards, go to
app-defaults
directory and edit the
.starrc file with the following changes:
