AV-RAZDQ-TE

Welcome to this month's Compaq Tru64 UNIX Software
Products Library Package.   The October 2001 package
includes the changes described in the following
sections.

New Packaging for the Software Products Library

In our continuing effort to provide quality to our
customers, the Software Products Library is now being
delivered in a new, sturdier box.  A separate removable
folder is being provided for the Online Documentation
Library documentation and CDs.  This is being shipped
in the Software Products Library box if you have
ordered the combined binaries and documentation Library
package, or it is being shipped separately if you have
ordered only the Online Documentation Library.

Please accept our gift of a CD Wallet for your use with
the Software Products Library.  We hope you are happy
with these changes.

use by Compaq's service engineers and Compaq's
Authorized Service Provider service engineers.  The

The System Tools CD is being provided with the Software
Products Library in order to provide updates to the

shipped with the system.  The System Tools CD may also
contain new diagnosis software that is applicable to
the system and should be checked for the most recent
updates to the diagnosis tools.  Many of the diagnosis
software tools on this CD can also be obtained through
links on the following Compaq web page:

The System Tools CD is created to ISO 9660 standards
and the software on this CD can be accessed by multiple
operating systems.  Multiple copies of the diagnosis
software may exist on this CD in order to support
different hardware platforms and operating systems; for
