DIGITAL OpenVMStm Alpha Software Product Library--December 1998 AV-RDA6B-TE Welcome to this month's OpenVMS Alpha Software Product Library Package. The December 1998 package includes the changes described in the following sections. Netscape Navigator Version 3.03A Beginning with the December 1998 release, the Netscape Navigator offering has been simplified so that a single PCSI kit now supports both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha. Although the Navigator product version number has been revised to reflect this modification, the product itself is identical in functionality to the Navigator Version 3.03 release that shipped on the September 1998 Software Product Library. Reliable Transaction Router Offerings As announced in the September Software Products Library Package, Reliable Transaction Router Version 2.2D has been superseded by Version 3.1D. RTR V2.2D for OpenVMS is still available by special order. Customers using RTR V2.2D for OpenVMS are advised to migrate to RTR V3.1D for OpenVMS as soon as practical. RTR V3.1D for OpenVMS has been tested for Year 2000 compliance and contains many enhancements to RTR V2.2D. RTR V3.1D for OpenVMS implements RTR V2 API wrapper routines that allow most existing RTR Version 2 based applications to run without change. It is recommended that customers test their RTR V2 applications on RTR V3.1D before replacing RTR V2.2D in their production environment. DIGITAL will provide support services for RTR V2.2D through March 1999. If assistance is required in moving your application from RTR V2 to V3 or support for RTR V2.2D is required beyond March 1999, please contact your DIGITAL Service representative for more information. © Digital Equipment Corporation. 1998.

Future changes to DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS (Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic and Display PostScript components) Starting with DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-5 for OpenVMS, scheduled for shipment in March 1999, Digital Equipment Corporation will discontinue support for Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic, which currently ships with the DECwindows Motif product. Customers are advised to replace Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic with the Netscape Navigator web browser, a state-of-the-art browser that is included on this Software Products Library, and can also be downloaded from: (http://www.openvms.digital.com/openvms/products/ips) Also, as of August 1, 1998, Digital Corporation no longer supports Adobe Display PostScript, because Adobe Systems Incorporated has discontinued support for that product. However, for customer convenience, DIGITAL will continue to ship Display PostScript software "as is" as part of the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS kit. DIGITAL disclaims all warranties with regard to this software, including all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness. Digital Equipment Corporation remains committed to the quality and support of the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS product and to the protection of its customer's investment in this product and technology.
