          This is VAX REMS Version 1.4. This release fixes several basic
          problems with prior versions of the software. This version also
          has the added functionality of interfacing with the Powerware
          Plus, 3.6 to 12 kVA UPS. A detailed explanation of the changes
          and additions to this version can be found in the on-line re-
          lease notes.



          1  Release Notes Information

          For a smooth installation, it is recommended that you first
          extract and read the release notes before attempting to install
          VAX REMS Version 1.4. To do this, follow the instructions for
          installing VAX REMS in Section 5 of the VAX REMS Installation
          Guide, making sure that you specify OPTIONS N as part of the
          command line. For example, if you were installing VAX REMS from
          the tape drive, you might type:

               $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL REMS014 MUA0: OPTIONS N

          Then, follow the instructions up to step 4 (Section 5.7), and
          select NO when asked if you want to continue the installation.

          2  H7317/8 Preparation

          If VAX REMS is to be used with H7317 or H7318 units, the system
          firmware running in these units must be V2.4-1. Determine the
          firmware version by pressing the <RESET> key on the H7317/8
          keypad. If the unit does not have a keypad, contact your local
          Digital Field Service Office for assistance.

          When the <RESET> key is pressed, the software displays this
          message:
