           Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

           Disk space required    7,000 blocks
           for installation:      (3,584K bytes)

           Disk space required    5,000 - 5,300 blocks
           for use (permanent):   (2,560K - 2,714K bytes)

           These counts refer to the disk space required on the sys-
           tem disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary
           depending on the user's system environment, configuration,
           and software options.

           Memory Requirements for DECwindows Support

           The minimum supported memory for this application running
           in a standalone DECwindows environment with both the client
           and server executing on the same system is 10 MB.

           The minimum memory support is 10 MB. However, the use of this
           software in conjunction with increased memory capability im-
           proves performance especially where large data arrays are
           being processed. The memory size suggested for most typi-
           cal hardware configurations is at least 16 MB.

           OPTIONAL HARDWARE

           Floating point intensive applications should be run on con-
           figurations with the appropriate hardware support for the
           floating point data types being used. Consult the Base Op-
           erating System SPD for the Floating Point Accelerator or other
           floating point hardware appropriate for the configuration.

           For VAX APL HPO (High Performance Option): Any VAX that can
           support the Vector Processor Module FV64A-AA/FV65A-AA for
           VAX 6000 and KV900-AA for the VAX 9000.

           CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

           This layered product is fully supported when installed on
           any valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration without re-
           strictions. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sections of this prod-
           uct's Software Product Description and System Support Ad-
           dendum detail any special hardware required by this prod-
           uct.

           *  V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the
              VAXcluster Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and
