     Processor Restrictions

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

     The VAX-11/780 must have the hardware engineering change order
     (ECO) status of system level 4 or higher.

     The VAX-11/730 must have the writeable control store (WCS)
     status of system level 50 or higher.

     Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

     VAX COBOL, Version 4.4                            SSA 25.04.22-A




     Disk space required          7,000 blocks
     during installation:
                                  (3.6M bytes)

     Disk space required for      4,000 blocks
     use (permanent):
                                  (2.1M 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 8MB.

     OPTIONAL HARDWARE

     A VT100 family, VT200 family, VT300 family, VT52 or Professional
     terminal emulating a VT100 is required for the screen handling
     extensions to the ACCEPT and DISPLAY statements.

     CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

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

     *  VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the VAXclus-
        ter 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 - V5.4

     For Workstations Running VWS:

     VMS Operating System V5.0 - V5.4
     VMS Workstation Software V4.2 - V4.3

     For Workstations Running DECwindows:

     VMS Operating System V5.1 - V5.4 (and necessary components of
     VMS DECwindows)

     VAX COBOL supports a DECwindows compiler interface for com-
     pile qualifier selection on workstations. This interface is
     accessible from FileView.

     This product may run in either of the following ways:

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

     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 on versions prior to V5.4. Installation of
     VMS DECwindows gives you the option to install any or all of the
     following three components:

     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server (base kit; provides runtime
        support)

     o  VMS DECwindows Programming Support

     o  VMS DECwindows Device Support

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

                                     4

 


     VAX COBOL, Version 4.4                            SSA 25.04.22-A



     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server (runtime support)

     o  VMS DECwindows Programming Support

     o  VMS DECwindows Device Support

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

     Server Machine

     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server (runtime support)

     o  VMS DECwindows Device Support

     Client Machine

     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server (runtime support)

     o  VMS DECwindows Programming Support

     VMS Tailoring

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

     o  VMS Required Saveset

     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

     Certain versions of these products depend upon a specific ver-
     sion of the operating system. Please refer to the System Soft-
     ware Addendum of the product in question to determine which
     version is necessary.
