Well, the never ending LMF story, part ???? ....

After installing VMS 5.5.1 , DECwindows/Motif 1.0A  I thought that online
doc's are really great.  Surprisingly (but understandable) the BOOKREADER
tells you that you must have a license for a product. Seemed to be no problem;
I licensed/installed VAXset but trying to read the VAX LSE manual gave the
same error message, saying you have to license the product...

Calling DEC I was told to use the BOOKBROWSER.COM procedure to load a license
for the bookreader.  But on the July CD distribution there is NO Bookbrowser
procedure. In a 2nd call I was told, that DEC has forgotten the Bookbrowser
and that they will deliver them on the November distribution.

So keep your hands on the older CD's (old software is better than no software:-)
