          The following products are planned for removal in the January

                        DIGITAL NAS Packages for DIGITAL UNIX*

          *The DIGITAL NAS Packages for DIGITAL UNIX will be coming out
          of the Software Product Library starting with the January 1998
          release. The DIGITAL NAS Packages announced retirement of their
          Independent Product Offering in September 1997. Customers may
          acquire all the component product kits via the Software Product
          Library or as component kits.

          The Licenses have retired as of December 1997. Migration paths
          are to individual component products or the new StorageWorks[TM]
          family of packages.

          For your convenience, we have now started to ship the DIGITAL
          UNIX Operating Systems OnLine Documentation in our DIGITAL UNIX
          Software Product Online Library.
