different port has been assigned to the Java RMI Example simulator.
Error message: RMI example simulator is not started. An
error occurred. Details:

3.5.1 New Features

6608 Defect Description:
The generated NEI projects (Expect and Java) should have default
error_codes.txt, phase_codes.txt, supp_codes.txt entries.
(The same default entries you get when installing EMS and JMS).
Defect correction:

When creating the NEI package, the packaging process creates a temporary
directory under C:\InstantLinkNEISDK70\. Because the drive letter is
hard coded, it is not possible to install NEISDK70 in other drive than C.

The SDK can now be installed also under different drives. The drive is
defined under the Eclipse preferences.

InstantLink NE Interface SDK Installation Guide includes instructions for
Eclipse DLTK's installations. DLTK is fetched during the installation of
eclipse from the server and by default the latest versions is fetched. DLTK's
latest version was 0.95 and its installation does not succeed Eclipse with
3.3.1. It must be version 0.91, which is not clearly advised in the
documentation. Especially how to get the specific version of DLTK must
be clearly instructed.
Defect correction:
The open source policy allows Comptel to distribute the correct DLTK
version. The InstantLink NE Interface SDK Installation Guide has been
updated.
InstantLink Expect Macro server includes procedures ForbidLogging
and PermitLogging, which can be used to control MML log writing.
These procedures are not documented in macro server documentation.
Defect correction:
Usage of these procedures are now documented in
InstantLink NE Interface SDK for Expect Developer's Guide.
6021 Defect description:
The default .packinglist for the example NEI should be changed so
that the project pdf documents are located in
