           New Features

           o  Message Router Programmer's Kit V3.5 is Year 2000 Ready. It
              will be unaffected by the rollover caused by the turn of the
              century.

           o  The following address for Reader's comments as documented in
              the books is no longer relevant:

              -  X.400 : S=migbooks; O=digital; OU1=reo; P=digital; A=gold
                 400; C=gb

              Any comments on documentation should be directed to the local
              customer support centres or if the readers have some comments
              to send they should use the prepaid readers' comments forms, if
              they are supplied at the back of the book. In all cases, please
              include the part number of the appropriate guide when providing
              comments.

           o  This version of Message Router Programmer's Kit V3.5 follows
              V3.3A. Please note that there is no Version 3.4 available.

           Installing the Programmer's Kit

           When you install Version 3.5 of the Programmer's Kit, VMSINSTAL
           asks you whether you have a Product Authorization Key (PAK) for
           Version 3.5. Answer YES if you have a License PAK for Version 3.2
           of the Programmer's Kit, because Version 3.3 uses the same PAK
           as Version 3.2. If you have a License PAK for Version 3.2 of the
           Programmer's Kit, you do not need a new PAK for Version 3.3 of the
           Programmer's Kit.

           With the exception of the VMSINSTAL command (shown below) to in-
           stall VAX Message Router Programmer's Kit V3.5, the installation
           procedure is the same as for V3.3. Refer to the VAX Message Router
           Programmer's Kit Installation Guide for details of the installa-
           tion procedure.
