Compaq Tru64 UNIX Software Product Library— January 2000





AV-RAZDH-TE


Welcome to this month's Compaq Tru64 UNIX Software Product
Library Package.   The January 2000 package includes the
changes described in the following sections.

System Tools CD

The System Tools CD that is now included with the Software
Products Library contains diagnosis and supporting software
for use by Compaq’s service engineers and Compaq’s
Authorized Service Provider service engineers.  The software
and associated documentation on this CD are for use on
systems that have hardware warranty, a service contract, or
service obligation.

The System Tools CD is being provided with the Software
Products Library in order to provide updates to the
diagnosis software that was factory installed and shipped
with the system.  The System Tools CD may also contain new
diagnosis software that is applicable to the system and
should be checked for the most recent updates to the
diagnosis tools.  Many of the diagnosis software tools on
this CD can also be obtained through links on the following
Compaq web page: http://www.compaq.com/support/.

The System Tools CD is created to ISO 9660 standards and the
software on this CD can be accessed by multiple operating
systems.  Multiple copies of the diagnosis software may
exist on this CD in order to support different hardware
platforms and operating systems; for example, Compaq Tru64
UNIX, OpenVMS, and Windows NT™.

If you have any questions on use of the software on this CD
contact a Compaq representative or Compaq Authorized Service
Provider representative.
