When coupled with the DIGITAL[TM] Advanced Server, EFSH           allows OpenVMS systems to act as fully functional file serversF           to Windows 95[R] and Windows[R] NT[TM] clients. In addition,F           EFS allows OpenVMS system managers to perform OpenVMS systemF           management functions on Windows NT and Windows 95 files fromD           an OpenVMS account. This functionality is intended for useG           primarily with DIGITAL Advanced Server, but it is possible to I           create and manipulate EFS extended file names using a subset of                  I           DCL commands. For a listing of these commands, see Chapter 4 of 6           the OpenVMS Version 7.2 New Features Manual.  E           For more information about EFS, see the OpenVMS Version 7.2            cover letters.  @           DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-5 for OpenVMS Support for?           Spyglass[TM] Enhanced Mosaic[TM] and Adobe[R] Display            PostScript[R]   H           Starting with DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-5 for OpenVMS, Com-F           paq Computer Corporation will no longer support the SpyglassE           Enhanced Mosaic web browser, which was provided in previous ?           versions of the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS product.   H           Compaq recommends that customers replace Spyglass Enhanced Mo-F           saic with the Netscape[R] Navigator[R] web browser.

This restriction occurs because H           there may be records in the software product database that theE           older version of the utility will not be able to interpret. G           This scenario may occur after an OpenVMS upgrade to a version H           of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.1-2. For example, this situation           occurs if you:  G           1. Install this remedial kit on OpenVMS V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2- 8              1H2, V6.2-1H3, V7.1, V7.1-1H1, or V7.1-1H2.  @           2.
