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. 2 Products Entering Mature Product Support (September 1999) Product Name Version UPILV DEC Notes for OpenVMS VAX Systems 2.5 960AA DEC VTX OpenVMS VAX 6.2 031AA VAX FMS 2.4 VD7AA VAX FMS (Run-Time) 2.4 VD8AA VAX Message Router (Base System) 3.5 732AA VAX Message Router (Programmer's Kit) 3.5 733AA VAX Message Router (VMSmail Gateway) 3.5 730AA VAX Message Router X.400 Gateway 3.5 VDMAA VAX TDMS 1.9B 706AA VAX TDMS (Run-Time) 1.9B 711AA VAX Message Router (Base System) 3.5 732AA Future Mature Product Support (September through December 1999) Product Name Version UPILV CDA Converter Library 2.2 VZA DECserver 250 all VTM DECserver 300 all VTU DECserver 700 all XA5 DECserver 90TL all MJB 3 IMPORTANT YEAR 2000 INFORMATION "This is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure by Compaq Computer Corporation pursuant to the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act of 1998."
