COMPAQ OpenVMS VAX Software Product Library--June 1999 AV-R5FBJ-TE Welcome to this month's OpenVMS VAX Software Product Library Package. The June 1999 package includes the changes described in the following sections. OpenVMS Operating System Documentation CD-ROM-- HTML figure links fixed The OpenVMS Version 7.2 Documentation CD-ROM included in this kit replaces the documentation CD-ROM shipped in the March 1999 OpenVMS VAX Software Product Library. This CD-ROM fixes broken HTML links that prevented the display of figures in manuals on the Windows portion of the CD. This problem did not affect the OpenVMS portion of the CD-ROM and did not affect the OpenVMS VAX Software Product Library-Online Documentation CD-ROM. Please note that no technical revisions have been made to the OpenVMS Version 7.2 manuals on this CD.

This service will be offered for products that are functionally complete, stable, and have no new versions planned for release. They will continue to be tested for correct operation on new OpenVMS releases and on new hardware processor releases. Accordingly, License Subscription and Software Update Distribution Services will no longer be available for these products. However, because we recognize the investment customers have made in these products, and each customer's need to move to new technology and/or solutions at his own pace, Compaq offers this new service. Mature Product Support assures that customers can continue to obtain high-quality support for selected products. You can purchase Mature Product Support with Sustaining Engineering as an addendum to your service contracts and cancel it when it is no longer required. Additional licenses and media kits will continue to be available for purchase. Your local Compaq Services Sales Specialist can provide you with more information about Mature Product Support, as well as the comprehensive suite of support offerings available from Compaq. For more information on Mature Products Support visit the Software Support Services for Legacy Software Web page at http://www.compaq.com/services/software/ss_mature.html After products have entered the Mature Product Support Program they will continue to ship on the Software Products Libraries. Please consult the Software Products Library cover letters for tables listing products planned for the Mature Product Support program, as shown in the following table.

The old license PAK will not work on the new version of the product included in this month's OpenVMS VAX Software Product Library. If you have a service contract with Compaq Customer Services you will receive a V5.1 license PAK if you have subscribed to Layered Product Support or License Subscription services for these products. If you are not a Customer Services subscriber, please contact your local Compaq Account Representative to purchase the V5.1 update licenses you require, as listed in the chart below. At that time you may also purchase the corresponding Layered Product Support or License Subscription services. These services provide the rights to use the new version of software and ensure that customers will automatically receive a new license PAK each time a new version of software is released.
