Compaq now provides Windows NT Server Version 4.0 file, print, security, and management services on a system running the Tru64 UNIX (formerly DIGITAL UNIX) operating system software through the Advanced Server Version 4.x for UNIX (ASU) software. You upgrade your PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX (Advanced Server) Version 5.0G or higher software to ASU. When you upgrade, you can seamlessly transfer your PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX (Advanced Server) user account and share databases to reuse them with ASU. The ASU software provides much of the same functionality as the PATHWORKS for Digital UNIX (Advanced Server) software. The most notable differences are that ASU supports mixed-case and long file names, installs independently of the PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX (NetWare) software, and does not support remote boot or PCSA mail. Visit the ASU web site at URL http://www.unix.digital.com/products/adv_server/ for more information on ASU.
