                                  PROGRAMMING NOTE:

          In the VWS V4.1 release, all the DOP definitions in VWSSYSDEF
          were inadvertently changed to uppercase. This created an in-
          compatibility for case-sensitive programming languages. The VWS
          development team apologizes for any inconvenience this might
          have caused you. The DOP definitions will remain uppercase for
          all future releases.

                                      REMEMBER:

          o  To use VWS V4.3, you must have VMS V5.0 or above installed on
             your system.

          o  To use SIGHT, HCUIS or the VWS DEMO Kit, you must have VMS
             V5.0 or above installed on your system.

          o  To use the VAXuisx Run-Time Library, you must have VMS V5.3
             or above installed on your system.

          o  To use the UIS to DDIF Converter and the UIS Source Code
             Annotator, you must have VMS V5.1 or above installed on your
             system.

          o  To use the DECwindows X11 server, you must have VMS V5.1 or
             VMS V5.2 installed on your system.

          o  To use some of the migraton tools in this kit, you must have
             DECwindows installed on your system. If you are running VMS
             V5.1, you must install DECwindows separately. If you are
             running VMS V5.2 or VMS V5.3, DECwindows can be installed as
             part of the normal VMS installation.

                                        NOTE

             After V4.3, RX33 distribution kits will no longer be
             available as distribution media for VWS or VWS Migration
             Tools.

                                       CAUTION

             If you receive the following warning message:

                                                                         3

 






                  %SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
                  \VMI$ROOT:[SYSLIB]UISSHR.EXE

             and it causes your installation to fail, please reinstall
             VWS after executing the following commands:

                  $ INSTALL REMOVE SYS$SHARE:UISSHR.EXE
                  $ INSTALL CREATE SYS$SHARE:UISSHR.EXE

             The original installation failed because INSTALL could no
             longer locate the file associated with the installed file
             header information. The above commands will ensure that
             INSTALL can find the current copy of the file.
