The layered products CD does not come with the operating
system as I had supposed but has to be purchased
additionally. I cannot say anything at the moment about
the cost for non university use, but my search for someone
at digital who can is at its fifth step, so I guess I
will succeed soon ...

Original message and answers follow:
I want to install lapack and would like to have the
optimized blas library. Searching the archive I found
out that I 'simply' need to get dxml from the layered
products cdrom. Unfortunately the latest layered products
cd I have is from november '93 (came with osf 1.3) and
doesn't show anything that looks like a dxml lib.
setld -i on my current system doesn't offer it either ...
So ... where can I get dxml from, what would it cost (to
use it as a static library) and why didn't I get any
layered products cd with neither OSF 3.2 nor DU 4.0??

You can get dxml as either a Development Kit or a run-time kit.
It comes with the standard Digital Layered Products distribution on
CDs issued quarterly. Whether you get these or not is a question of
what arrangement you have with Digital. All these products are licensed
and cost money. I have no idea how much. We are a university and pay
a flat rate each year to receive the Digital Unix updates and the
quarterly distribution of the Layered Products which includes a site
license for all Digital software (but not third-party software like
KAP). In short, you will just have to approach your Digital sales
representative to get the details.

you will have to buy it seperatly! it comes on a cd!

Layered products CD sets have to be ordered separately. I don't
remember the cost, but the order number is QA-054AA-H8.

You normally don't get the layered products CDs when you purchase a
machine or an OS from Digital; they are normally ordered separately.
It has been so long since I did this, I don't really know if it is
still possible to order the current DU Sofware Product Library as a
separate item (although I would think it would be), but it certainly
is possible to subscribe to the quarterly CD distributions; this is
what we do (under a DECcampus academic site license). The most
recent version of the DU layered products CDs we have is DEC UNIX
Alpha Q4CY96 Update, which appears on our Bill of Materials like
this:
QA-054AA-W8. X01 DGTL UNIX ALPHA LIBPKG Q4CY96
But unless you have some sort of site license, you will presumably
need to purchase a license for the product of interest, in which
case it might be cheaper just to purchase the Media-and-Doc kit
along with the license. The Unique Product Identifier codes for the
extended math library products are MUXAA (development) and
MUYAA (runtime); the current version for both is 3.3.
