          Your DECset kit consists of a group of programmer productivity
          tools that aid in the development of system or application
          software on an OpenVMS system. For support of Compaq OpenVMS
          Version 7.3, an installation correction was required on Alpha
          systems only for the Compaq Performance and Coverage Analyzer
          (PCA) component. This has produced a release of Compaq DECset
          V12.4A for OpenVMS Alpha and Compaq PCA V4.7A for OpenVMS Alpha.
          All other DECset components are identical to those for the
          DECset Version 12.4 release.

          Compaq DECset for OpenVMS Systems, Version 12.4A, consists of
          the following components:

          o  Compaq Code Management System (CMS), Version 4.1

          o  Compaq Digital Test Manager, Version 4.0

          o  Compaq Language-Sensitive Editor/Source Code Analyzer
             (LSE/SCA), Version 4.7

          o  Compaq Module Management System (MMS), Version 3.4

          o  Compaq Performance and Coverage Analyzer (PCA), Version 4.7A
