Processors Restrictions

A TK50 Tape Drive is required for standalone MicroVAX 2000 and VAXstation 
2000 systems.

Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

Disk space required during installation:
						      6,800 blocks 
						      (3.5M bytes)

Disk space required for use (permanent):
						      6,600 blocks
						      (3.4M bytes)

These counts refer to the disk space required on the system 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 that 
same system is 8 MB.

OPTIONAL HARDWARE

Floating point intensive applications should be run on configurations with 
the appropriate hardware support for the floating point data types being 
used.    Consult the base operating system SPD for the Floating Point 
Accelerator or other floating point hardware appropriate for your 
configuration.

CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

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

*   V5.x  VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the  VAXcluster 
    Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and include CI, Ethernet and 
    Mixed Interconnect configurations.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

For Systems Using Terminals: (No DECwindows Interface):

VMS Operating System V5.0 - V5.3

For Workstations Running VWS:

oo   VMS Operating System V5.0 - V5.3

oo   VMS Workstation Software  V4.2 

For Workstations Running DECwindows:

oo   VMS Operating System V5.1 - V5.3 (and necessary components of VMS 
    DECwindows)

VAX BASIC supports a DECwindows compiler interface for compile qualifier 
selection on workstations.  This interface is accessible from FileView.

This product may run in either of the following ways:

oo   Stand-alone execution -- running the X11 display server and the client 
    application on the same machine.

oo   Remote execution --- running the X11 display server and the client 
    application on different machines.

VMS DECwindows is part of the  VMS  Operating  System but must be installed 
separately.  Installation of VMS DECwindows gives you the option to install 
any or all of the following three components:

oo   VMS DECwindows Compute Server (Base kit; includes runtime support)

oo   VMS DECwindows Device Support

oo   VMS DECwindows Programming Support

For stand-alone execution, the following DECwindows components must be 
installed on the machine:

oo   VMS DECwindows Compute Server (runtime support)

oo   VMS DECwindows Device Support

oo   VMS DECwindows Programming Support

For remote execution, the following DECwindows components must be installed 
on the machines:

Server Machine

oo   VMS DECwindows Compute Server

oo   VMS DECwindows Device Support

Client Machine

oo   VMS DECwindows Compute Server

oo   VMS DECwindows Programming Support

VMS Tailoring

For VMS V5.x, the following VMS classes are required for full functionality 
of this layered product:

oo   VMS Required Saveset

oo   Programming Support

For more information on VMS classes and tailoring, refer to the VMS    
Operating System Software Product Description (SPD 25.01.xx).

OPTIONAL SOFTWARE

To use %INCLUDE %FROM %CDD or the %REPORT %DEPENDENCY directives and the 
 /DEPENDENCY_DATA qualifier:

oo   VAX CDD/Plus V4.1  on VMS Operating System V5.0 - V5.1

oo   VAX CDD/Plus V4.1A on VMS Operating System V5.2 - V5.3

To use VAX BASIC graphics statements:

oo   DEC GKS for VMS V4.0 Development or Run-time License

Required to use the VAX Language-Sensitive Editor:

oo   VMS Operating System V5.1 - V5.3

oo   VAX Language-Sensitive Editor  V3.0

Required to fully use the /ANALYSIS_DATA qualifier:

oo   VMS Operating System V5.2 - V5.3

oo   VAX Source Code Analyzer  V2.0

Required to fully use the /DESIGN qualifier:

oo   VMS Operating System  V5.2 - V5.3

oo   VAX Language-Sensitive Editor  V3.0

oo   VAX Source Code Analyzer  V2.0

Please note the following restriction concerning the use of the 
/ANALYSIS_DATA and /DESIGN qualifiers with VAX BASIC V3.4:

oo   To load the  analysis data files created by the /ANALYSIS_DATA 
    qualifier into a VAX Source Code Analyzer (SCA) library, you must use 
    VAX Source Code Analyzer V2.0.

oo   To use the /DESIGN qualifier, you must have VAX Language-Sensitive 
    Editor (LSE) V3.0 installed on your system.

VAX Source Code Analyzer (SCA) V2.0 and VAX Language-Sensitive Editor (LSE) 
V3.0 are available individually or in the VAXset Package R9.
