          Your DECset kit consists of a group of programmer productivity
          tools that aid in the development of system or application soft-
          ware on an OpenVMS system. The updated product components for
          this release include Code Management System, Digital Test Man-
          ager, Language-Sensitive Editor, and Module Management System,
          as well as the DECset Environment Manager that provides a single
          mechanism for tailoring the execution environment. All other
          DECset components are identical to those for the prior DECset
          release.

          lowing components:
