Dear Software Product Services Customer:
  
Compaq Customer Services wishes to inform you that Compaq Computer
Corporation has begun a transition process for the following products: 
		
	Digital Standard Mumps (DSM) for OpenVMS AXP
	Digital Standard Mumps (DSM) for OpenVMS VAX
	
Compaq has offered these products and related support services under a
distribution agreement with InterSystems Corporation since InterSystems
acquired DSM in 1995.  As of May 31, 1999 Compaq will no longer sell new
DSM licenses or enter into new DSM service agreements.  If you have a
current DSM service agreement, Compaq will continue to provide service
through its Customer Support Centers in accordance with the provisions of
your maintenance contract until the end of your contract term or through
May 31, 2000, whichever is sooner. Warranty customers will receive support
throughout their initial warranty agreement. 
  
InterSystems (www.intersys.com) will continue to offer DSM licenses,
license upgrades, and 7-by-24 support, as it has since 1995.  With
thousands of DSM systems in use around the world, InterSystems remains
fully committed to DSM. 

Please contact InterSystems at +617 621-0600 before the end of your Compaq
service contract to arrange for InterSystems support and avoid interruption
in service. 
  
Sincerely,
