      b. Patch release 1 for 4.2.0.
  
  PATCH RELEASE 2 FOR  4.2.0
  --------------------------
     Bug Fixes
     ---------
  
      1. Defect 8753 - Command line arguments are not supported for rx cross 
         variant. Support for giving command line arguments from Run 
         and Debug dialog has been disabled for the rx variant. For  
         the vw variant this support is enabled. The vw variant allows
         only integers as command line arguments. To pass arguments 
         to the program from debugger, command set run <args> should be used. 
         The cross debugger does not support passing command line arguments to 
         the program being debugged from the debug dialog.
  
      2. Command apex_ada_link_phase was not invoking cdlink correctly in
         cross views which had LINK_CLOSURE_LANGUAGES set to C++.
      
      3. Debugger was giving constraint error when an expression is evaluated
         using Debug->Show_Data menu after selecting it from the source display
         window. 
  
      4. Debugger was unable to display value of formal string parameters when
         it's default value is a null string. 
        
      5. Fixed debugger erroneously displaying symbols as overloaded when some 
         package in the path is overloaded.
  
  
  PATCH RELEASE 1 FOR 4.2.0
  --------------------------
    Bug Fixes
    ---------
   
       1. Defect 8629 - Refresh imports takes a long time to complete.
          In earlier releases of Apex, import refresh command was taking too
          much time to complete when the number of imports increased. This 
          has been fixed.
  
       2. Fixed Apex crash when debugger is killed after opening 
          disassembly window and before doing any other debugger operations.
  
      
    Enhancements
    ------------
  
       1. Command copy_view has been enhanced to support copying of 
          rational subsystems. The command will work only on a single 
          rational subsystem.
  
       2. Debugger disassembly has been enhanced to provide register
          transfer equivalents as comments next to disassembly. 
  
       3. F5 key behavior modified to popup a dialog with a message
          when no source file is open in the Ada editor for debugging.
