          1  Compaq KAP for C/OpenMP Kit

          Version 4.1 of Compaq KAP C/OpenMP is a maintenance release and
          does not include any major changes. The Release Notes include a
          detailed list of all changes. Version 4.1 completely replaces
          the previous version.

          This software requires DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0D, or Compaq
          Tru64 UNIX 4.0F, 5.0, or 5.0A. To take advantage of the parallel
          decomposition functionality, you also need a Compaq C compiler
          that can process the OpenMP directives. This capability is
          present in the C compiler that is distributed with Tru64 UNIX
          version 5.0 or 5.0A and in the Developer's Toolkit for Tru64
          UNIX 4.0D, 4.0E, and 4.0F (SPD 44.36).

          The installation of Compaq KAP C/OpenMP requires 10 MB of disk
          storage.

          KAP C/OpenMP for Tru64 UNIX is available on the Tru64 UNIX
          Layered Products disk. It is also available as an individual
