OpenVMStm VAX Software Product Library--December 1999 AV-R5FBL-TE Welcome to this month's OpenVMS VAX Software Product Library Package. The December 1999 package includes the changes described in the following sections. System Tools CD The System Tools CD that is now included with the Software Products Library contains diagnosis and supporting software for use by Compaq's service engineers and Compaq's Authorized Service Provider service engineers. The software and associated documentation on this CD are for use on systems that have hardware warranty, a service contract, or service obligation. The System Tools CD is being provided with the Software Products Library in order to provide updates to the diagnosis software that was factory installed and 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: http://www.compaq.com/support/ 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 example, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS, and Windows NT[tm]. If you have any questions on use of the software on this CD contact a Compaq representative or Compaq Authorized Service Provider representative.

This service will be offered for products that are functionally complete, stable, and have no new versions planned for release. They will continue to be tested for correct operation on new OpenVMS releases and on new hardware processor releases. Accordingly, License Subscription and Software Update Distribution Services will no longer be available for these products. However, because we recognize the investment customers have made in these products, and each customer’s need to move to new technology and/or solutions at his own pace, Compaq offers this new service. Mature Product Support assures that customers can continue to obtain high-quality support for selected products. You can purchase Mature Product Support with Sustaining Engineering as an addendum to your service contracts and cancel it when it is no longer required. Additional licenses and media kits will continue to be available for purchase. Your local Compaq Services Sales Specialist can provide you with more information about Mature Product Support, as well as the comprehensive suite of support offerings available from Compaq. For more information on Mature Products Support visit the Software Support Services for Legacy Software Web page at http://www.compaq.com/services/software/ss_mature.html After products have entered the Mature Product Support Program they will continue to ship on the Software Products Libraries. Please consult the Software Products Library cover letters for tables listing products planned for the Mature Product Support program, as shown in the following table.
