 Dear Save Set Manager Customer:

 In an effort to provide continuously improved storage management
 software capability to our customers, Digital offers Save Set
 Manager (SSMgr) for OpenVMS VAX[TM] and Alpha[TM] Version 1.3B
 software.

 SSMgr is a layered software product that reduces user time spent
 on save set operations by providing capability for offline save
 set validation, copy, merge, and support for bound disk volumes.
 SSMgr therefore improves productivity by reducing backup windows,
 the number of full backups required, and restore times, with-
 out compromising data integrity. This version includes a product
 name change and problem fixes; see SSMgr release notes for more
 information.

 Save Set Manager for OpenVMS Version 1.3B software runs on OpenVMS
 Versions 5.5-2, 6.1, 6.2 and 7.1 on the VAX platform, and OpenVMS
 Versions 6.1, 6.2 and V7.1 on the Alpha platform.

 OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 Information

 If you are running OpenVMS V5.5-2 on the VAX platform, Save Set
 Manager may fail due to missing images or incompatibilities with
 existing images. Please refer to the SSMgr Release Notes, Section
 4.0, on Optional Software Patches for further instructions before
 attempting installation of this product. For your convenience, the
 patch kits have been provided in this release.

 If you need assistance with this product, please call the Customer
 Support Center.

 Thank you for your purchase of Save Set Manager!

 Sincerely,

 Monica Ballard
 SSMgr Product Manager
