          Reliable Transaction Router Version 3.2 for OpenVMS supersedes
          RTR Version 2.2D for OpenVMS. Customers using RTR Version 2.2D
          for OpenVMS are advised to migrate to RTR Version 3.2 for Open-
          VMS as soon as practical. RTR Version 3.2 for OpenVMS contains
          many enhancements to RTR Version 2.2D including wrapper routines
          that allow most existing RTR Version 2 based applications to run
          without change.

          It is recommended that customers test their RTR Version 2 ap-
          plications on RTR Version 3.x before replacing RTR Version 2.2D
          in their production environments. COMPAQ will provide stan-
          dard support services for RTR Version 2.2D through March 1999.
          Prior version support services for RTR Version 2.2D for Open-
          VMS is available through 2 July 2000. If assistance is required
          in moving your application from RTR Version 2 to Version 3 or
          support for RTR Version 2.2D is required beyond March 1999,
          please contact your Compaq services representative for more
          information.
