DIGITAL OpenVMS[TM] Alpha Software Product Library-June 1998 AV-PW3MZ-RE Welcome to this month's OpenVMS Alpha Software Product Library Package. The June 1998 package includes the changes described in the following sections. Changes to Internet Product Suite/Netscape Navigator[R] We are pleased to provide OpenVMS customers with the Netscape Navigator Gold V3.03 for OpenVMS VAX[TM] and Alpha[TM], which allows users to create Web pages, send content-rich electronic mail messages, and publish documents to corporate Web and news servers, all from within a single, easy-to-use environment. New features in Netscape Navigator Gold Version 3.03 include advanced HTML capabilities that allow users to drag and drop page links, graphics, Java applets (OpenVMS Alpha only) and JavaScript into email and Web pages. Netscape Navigator supports open standards to give users extensive interoperability and an open platform for applications development. Remember to visit the OpenVMS home page at www.openvms.digital.com where you'll find the most recent version of the Netscape Nav- igator for OpenVMS as well as other OpenVMS Internet software available for downloading. Future changes to DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS (Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic and Display PostScript[R] components) Starting with DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-5 for OpenVMS, sched- uled for shipment at the end of 1998, Digital Equipment Corpo- ration will discontinue support for Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic, which currently ships with the DECwindows Motif product. Cus- tomers are advised to replace Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic with the Netscape Navigator web browser, a state-of-the-art browser that is included on this Software Products Library, and can also be downloaded from: (http://www.openvms.digital.com/openvms/products/ips) Also, on August 1, 1998, Digital Corporation will no longer support Adobe Display PostScript, because Adobe Systems In- corporated is discontinuing support for that product. However, for customer convenience, DIGITAL will continue to ship Display PostScript software "as is" as part of the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS kit. DIGITAL disclaims all warranties with regard to this software, including all implied warranties of merchantabil- ity and fitness. Digital Equipment Corporation remains committed to the quality and support of the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS product and to the protection of its customer' investment in this product and technology. ©Digital Equipment Corporation. 1998.

Products Removed for the Current Library The following products which shipped as part of the March 1998 Software Product Library Package have been removed from the June 1998 package: Product Name Version UPILV Internet Product Suite 1.2A 5CNAA ObjectBroker for OpenVMS (Development) 2.7 06UAA ObjectBroker for OpenVMS (Run-Time) 2.7 06VAA StorageWorks HSZ40 Array Controller 1.0 3DCAC Utility for OpenVMS Future Product Removals due to Retirement (September 1998) Product Name Version UPILV DECADMIRE/Japanese 2.0 2SSJA DECmessageQ for OpenVMS (Development) 3.2C 0HJAA DECmessageQ for OpenVMS (Run-Time) 3.2C 0HKAA PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Macintosh) 1.3A YPCAA PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Netware) 1.0G 0ENAA Migration Information for DECmessageQ Digital Equipment is a distributor for BEA Systems BEA MessageQ, the successor product to DIGITAL DECmessageQ, and will continue to sell, distribute and support MessageQ on DIGITAL platforms, including OpenVMS (Alpha and VAX), DIGITAL UNIX, and Windows NT[R] Alpha, along with other vendor platforms, as part of a multi-year agreement between DIGITAL and BEA Systems. Effective 30 April 1998, DIGITAL will be distributing BEA Mes- sageQ using BEA Systems license terms and conditions, and will be providing BEA-manufactured software binaries and documenta- tion. The former product, DIGITAL DECmessageQ, is being retired, as per contract terms, and BEA MessageQ is being provided as a successor product. Also as part of this transition, we will no longer be distribut- ing DECmessageQ/BEA MessageQ V3.2, but moving our current re- lease level to V4.0A, as none of the V3.x DECmessageQ releases are Y2K ready, and the V4.0 releases have been tested and found Y2K ready by BEA Systems engineering. As the BEA-provided product does not support DIGITAL License Management Facility (LMF), and therefore is not eligible for in- clusion in the Software Product Libraries (SPL), we will only be offering Individual Product Offerings (IPO) kits, using a CD-ROM media type. Customers who wish to purchase the BEA MessageQ product can continue to order the IPO via the normal DIGITAL or- dering channels, and orders will be fufilled by DIGITAL Software Supply Business (SSB). 2 DIGITAL Multivendor Customer Services (MCS) continues to provide first and second-tier support services for MessageQ, and cus- tomers with existing support contracts will continue to receive support as they did with DIGITAL DECmessageQ. Migration Information for ObjectBroker As part of the completion of service contract migration, Ob- jectBroker V2.7 has also been removed from the Software Products Library due to its sale to BEA Systems and the introduction of a new BEA-provided product that does not support DIGITAL License Management Facility (LMF). Effective 22 May 1998, DIGITAL will cease distributing Object- Broker from the OpenVMS Alpha "June 98" SPL. Customers wishing to purchase the latest version of "BEA Ob- jectBroker", currently Version 3.0, can continue to do so from DIGITAL since DIGITAL is offering Individual Product Offerings (IPO) kits, using a CD-ROM media type. Customers who wish to purchase the BEA ObjectBroker product can continue to order the IPO via the normal DIGITAL ordering channels, and orders will be fulfilled by DIGITAL Software Supply Business (SSB). Additional information is available at the following URL: (http://ww1.systems.digital.com/DDic.nsf/AllDocuments/ AA5A054FAB826713802564A0006884BC) BEA ObjectBroker is also available directly from BEA Systems Inc. Pricing and licensing information is available. DIGITAL Multivendor Customer Services (MCS) no longer provides first and second-tier support services for BEA ObjectBroker, and customers seeking support contracts need to contact BEA Systems directly. DIGITAL recommends that new customers consider other industry alternatives in addition to BEA ObjectBroker to determine which product technology best suits their needs. DIGITAL partner, Iona Technologies offers a market leading CORBA 2-compliant object request broker, called Orbix, along with associated CORBA and COM-based technologies on DIGITAL platforms. Other ORBs, such as ICL DAIS, and VisiBroker from Borland, are also worthy of consideration.
