     Memory Requirements

     The SoftPC application requires a minimum working set of 2 MB.
     The minimum supported system memory for this application running
     in a standalone DECwindows environment with both the client and
     server executing on that same system is 6 MB. However, the use
     of this software in conjunction with increased memory capability
     improves performance.

     Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

     Disk space required for      7,500 blocks
     installation:
                                  (3,750K bytes)

     Disk space required for      6,378 blocks
     minimum single
     use:                         (3,265K bytes)

     DEC SoftPC for VMS, Version 2.2                   SSA 32.18.00-A




     Disk space required for      28,818 blocks
     typical use:
                                  (14,754K 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.

     OPTIONAL HARDWARE

     The software can use a local floppy disk drive with the follow-
     ing restrictions:

     o  RX33 - Read/write high density only. Note: RX33 is not sup-
        ported on machines with RQDX3 controllers.

     o  RX23 - Read/write high density. Read only low density.

     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.

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

     SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

     For Systems Using Terminals (No DECwindows Interface):

     VMS Operating System V5.3 - V5.4

     For Workstations Running DECwindows:

     VMS Operating System V5.3 - V5.4 (and the necessary components
     of VMS DECwindows)

     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. 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; includes runtime
        support)

     o  VMS DECwindows Device Support

     o  VMS DECwindows Programming Support

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

     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server

     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

     o  VMS DECwindows Device Support

     Client Machine

     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server

     o  VMS DECwindows Device 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  Network Support

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

     GROWTH CONSIDERATIONS

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