DECimage V3.0 Prices Reduced

Prices on DECimage V3.0 software (SPD 47.97.03) have been reduced, DECimage
V3.0 for the SCO UNIX platform is available now, and DECimage V3.0 for the
DEC OSF/1 AXP platform can be ordered now for shipment beginning in
September.

The UPI (unique product identifier) for the SCO UNIX server is now the same
as it is for DECimage MEGADOC V1.1. The UPIs for the SCO Intel server kits
and licenses are 0GV, 0GW, 0GX, 0GY, 0GZ, 0H0, 0H1, 0H2, 0H4, 0H5, 0PQ, 0PR,
0PN, and 0PP. Prices vary with the storage capacity.

For more information on DECimage software please consult the "DECimage
Editor V1.0" article in the March 14, 1994, issue of Digital's Customer
Update.

Publication Date Changes for Systems and Options Catalog

The next edition of the Systems and Options Catalog (SOC) will be published
as a supplement in early August instead of as a full edition in July. Its
order number will be EC-I3488-10 and it will include all major products
announced between February and August. The next full edition of the Systems
and Options Catalog is planned for October.

Quarterly Releases of DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS Features

Starting in September, Digital will begin shipping new product features and
enhancements of DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS software on a quarterly basis.

Each quarter, a complete DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS kit will ship on the OpenVMS
VAX and AXP Layered Product CDROMs, containing all new features and other
improvements developed and tested since the preceding quarter. The releases
will go out in September and December 1994 and in March and June 1995, in
accordance with the Layered Product CDROM distribution.

To take full advantage of this new mode of release, users can utilize the
CDROM distribution service and thus ensure timely receipt of the latest
features and functions of the DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS product. (Distribution
of the DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS VAX version on TK50 and MagTape media will end
with the September release.)

DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS licensing remains the same with this new mode of
product release, as does pricing. Order numbers also remain the same, as
follows:

 (PE53U-A*, -B*)

NOTES: (1) Digital is retiring the DEC Microserver four-port and single-port
           based routers and the DEC WANserver 150 two-port device. Note
           that this notice does not apply to DEMSA-S*/DEMSB-S* SNA gateway
           servers or DEMSA-J*/DEMSB-J* CIT servers at this time.

       	   The recommended migration paths listed in the table above are as
           follows:

       	   A = Software and hardware upgrade to DEC WANrouter 90 (DEWAR-**)
               or DEC WANrouter 250 (DSRVR-W*).
       	   B = Software and hardware upgrade to DECNIS 500-RP4 (DNSDJ-B*).
       	   C = Software and hardware upgrade to DEC WANrouter 90 (DEWAR-**).

       	   The replacement products, the DECNIS and DEC WANrouter products,
           either have or will have DEC OSF/1 AXP and MS-DOS kits for load
           and management in these environments.

       	   The retiring software for the DEMSA based products will continue
           to be supported until the end of December 1995.

       (2) The RWZ01 and RWZ21 5.25" and 3.5" discs are being retired in
           line with current trends in the optical disc marketplace. The
           associated media and accessories will remain active.

       	   The replacement product for the RWZ01 will be the RWZ52 5.25" 1.2
           GB magneto-optical disc drive, which offers better performance
           solutions at a lower price. As a multifunctional drive capable of
           reading and writing 600 Mbyte and 1.2 Gbyte media, the RWZ52 will
           protect your disc drive investments.

       (3) Now that Digital has transitioned development and support of DEC
           @AGlance products to Intuitive Technology Corporation, it has
           begun a retirement process for the DEC @AGlance V1.0 software
           products listed above.

       	   @AGlance/IT V2.0, a new release of @AGlance software offered by
           Intuitive Technology, contains all the functionality provided in
           Digital's DEC @AGlance V1.0, plus key features and enhancements.
           Under its migration plan, Intuitive Technology will offer
           @AGlance/IT V2.0 software and documentation plus an upgrade
           license at a discounted price to all Digital users with a current
           Software Product Services contract. Users who do migrate can
           purchase a support agreement directly from Intuitive Technology.

       	   Digital will continue to support DEC @AGlance V1.0 in accordance
           with the terms of the service contract, but not beyond July 31,
           1995. Warranty users will receive support throughout their
           initial warranty agreement.

       	   If users decide upon an immediate transfer to Intuitive
           Technology services, they should contact their local Digital
           representative to request termination of their existing DEC
           @AGlance service agreement.

       (4) Digital is transitioning ongoing development, sales, service, and
           support of the DECrti product to KineticSystems Corporation.

       	   Initially, KineticSystems will ship Digital's DEC Realtime
           Integrator V3.0a on OpenVMS VAX and RISC ULTRIX systems.
           Thereafter, KineticSystems will ship the product as the KSC
           Realtime Integrator, or KSCrti V3.1, with plans to support the
           OpenVMS AXP and DEC OSF/1 AXP platforms.

       	   DECrti users will have the opportunity to purchase an update
           license from KineticSystems and receive new versions of the
           Realtime Integrator products.

       	   Support for Digital's V3.0a will continue through Digital's
           Customer Support Centers in accordance with the terms of service
           contracts through June 30, 1995. Warranty users will receive
           support throughout their initial warranty agreement.

       	   KineticSystems will provide a migration path to enable DECrti
           users to convert to KineticSystems software products. With the
           purchase of a KineticSystems support contract, the company will
           ship a new license, license keys, software media, and
           documentation updates directly to a user's address. At that time
           users can ask Digital to cancel their service contract for V3.0a.

       (5) Note that this is not a platform retirement: Digital is
           simplifying the product set to focus on packages that buying
           patterns indicate users want. If a desired package does not exist,
           users can configure one through the system building block
           approach.
