          options selected.

          Additional space must be allowed space for programs, logs, and
          temporary database cache files, and user interface software such
          as VAX Data Distributor and VAX DATATRIEVE.

          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 (SPD 29.78.xx) and include
             CI, Ethernet and Mixed Interconnect configurations.

                on which RdbAccess is installed, either VAX Rdb/VMS De-
                velopment Option, VAX Rdb/VMS Interactive Option, or VAX
                Rdb/VMS Run-Time Only Option software must be installed on
                the node from which the user initiates the access. Refer-
                ence VAX Rdb/VMS (SPD 25.59.xx) for more information on
                runtime, interactive, and full development options.
