Processors Not Supported

VAX-11/725, VAX-11/782, MicroVAX I, VAXstation I, VAXstation 8000

Processor 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 for installation:			    4,800 blocks
							    (2.5M bytes)

Disk space required for use (permanent):		    3,800 blocks
							    (1.9M bytes)

These block 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

VAX Notes supports screen-oriented editing only on terminals that  
respond to ANSI control functions and that operate in ANSI mode.  VAX  
Notes screen-oriented editing is designed to optimize the features of 
the Digital VT200 and VT100 families of terminals.

Line  mode editing is provided for non-ANSI terminals supported by the  
VMS Operating System.

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 V5.3

For workstations running VWS:

VMS Operating System V5.3
VMS Workstation Software V4.2

For workstations running DECwindows:

VMS Operating System V5.3 (and necessary components of VMS DECwindows)

This product may run in either of the following ways:

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

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:

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

VMS DECwindows Device Support

VMS DECwindows Programming Support

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

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

VMS DECwindows Device Support

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

Server Machine

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

VMS DECwindows Device support

Client Machine

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

VMS Tailoring

The following VMS classes are required for full functionality of this  
layered product: 

VMS Required Saveset
Network Support
Secure User's Environment
Utilities

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

OPTIONAL SOFTWARE

DECnet-VAX, V5.3 (Required for Client license)
ALL-IN-1, V2.3
VAX DECspell Verifier/Corrector, V1.1

GROWTH CONSIDERATIONS

Notefiles grow as more topics and replies are added to the conference; 
sufficient disk space must be allocated to allow these files to grow as 
needed.

The minimum hardware/software requirements for any future version of 
this product may be different from the minimum requirements of the 
current version.
