          OpenVMS[TM] VAX[TM] Software Product Library-December 1997

          AV-R5FBC-TE

          Welcome to this month's OpenVMS VAX Software Product Library
          Package. The December 1997 package includes the changes de-
          scribed in the following sections.

          Changes planned for NAS Products

          Beginning with the March 1998 Software Products Library, the NAS
          Package component products will not ship on separate NAS discs
          within the Software Products Library, but will be found on the
          Software Products Library discs themselves.

          The NAS base kits (including the group license table) and NAS
          documentation will still be delivered on the Software Products
          Library. The NAS component product kits can be obtained as a
          part of the Software Product Library or as separate component
          kits.
