2000 systems.                                                  

Processors Not Supported

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

Other Hardware Requirements

Minimum disk required: One RD54 or two RZ23 disks

Terminals:  VT100

Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

With Rdb/VMS

Disk space required for installation:
						      48,500 blocks
						      (25.0M bytes)

Disk space required for use (permanent):
						      42,500 blocks
						      (22.0M bytes)
Without Rdb/VMS

Disk space required for installation:
						      25,500 blocks
						      (13.0M bytes)

Disk space required for use (permanent):
						      24,500 blocks
						      (12.5M 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 

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 8 MB.

The performance and memory usage of DECwindows applications are 
particularly sensitive to system configuration.  Less memory may be 
required on the client system (the system where the software is installed 
and executed) if the server (the component that displays the application) 
resides on another system.  More memory may be required on a system with 
several applications running or where it may be desirable to improve the 
performance of an application.

The minimum memory supported is 8 MB.  However, the use of this software in 
conjunction with increased memory capability improves performance.  The 
memory size suggested for most typical hardware configurations is at least 
12 MB.
       
OPTIONAL HARDWARE

DECdecision text files can be printed on any Digital text printer.

DECdecision PostScriptRO files can be printed using any Digital PostScript 
printer (ScriptPrinter LN03R, PrintServer 20, PrintServer 40, or the 
PrintServer 40 Plus laser printer).

DECchart produces both monochrome and color PostScript.  Monochrome 
PostScript can be printed using any Digital PostScript printer 
(ScriptPrinter LN03R, PrintServer 20, PrintServer 40, and the PrintServer 
40 Plus Laser Printer).  If the DECprint Utility for PostScript to Sixel 
Printing for VMS is installed, then DECchart PostScript output (either 
color or monochrome) can be printed on the Digital LJ250 Companion Color 
Printer.

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 Workstations Running DECwindows

VMS Operating System V5.3-1 (and necessary components of VMS DECwindows)

For PC DECwindows Interoperability

DECnet PCSA Client for DOS V3.0 - PC DECwindows Display Facility V2.0 (SPD 
55.07.xx) and VMS Services for PCs V3.0 (SPD 30.50.xx).  For more 
information, refer to the DECwindows Interoperability Compliance Matrix 
Software Product Description (SPD 01.25.xx).

This product may run in either of the following ways:

Stand-alone execution - Running the X11 display server and the 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

VMS DECwindows Device Support

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

VMS DECwindows Compute Server
VMS DECwindows Device Support       

Client Machine

VMS DECwindows Compute Server

Rdb/VMS V3.1A Runtime Kit is included with DECdecision.  If you upgrade to 
a future version of VMS that does not support Rdb/VMS V3.1A, it is 
necessary to install the latest version of Rdb/VMS.  (The Rdb/VMS Runtime 
license is packaged with VMS and therefore, does not require a separate 
license.)

VMS Tailoring

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

oo   VMS Required Saveset

Optional:     Network Support (Required for Client/Server split)

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

OPTIONAL SOFTWARE

DECwrite for VMS V1.0                                              

CDA Converter Library for VMS V1.0 in conjunction with DEC GKS for VMS V4.0 
(For additional converters and color hardcopy support)     

VAX DATATRIEVE V5.0 (For access to DTR domains, DBMS, and RMS)      

VIDA for DB2 V1.0 (For access to IBMRO data) 

VIDA with IDMS/R V2.2 (For access to IBM data) 

GROWTH CONSIDERATIONS

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