          Display Devices:

          DECwrite will run on any of the above processors, but requires
          either a workstation, a VT1200 V2.0, or an Intel 80286 or 80386
          with PC DECwindows for display.

          Processors Not Supported

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

          Processor Restrictions

          DECwrite operates on any of the above supported processors
          but a VAXstation or a DECwindows display device is required
          for display. Refer to the Display Device section for supported
          display devices.

          Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

          Disk space required for      30,100 blocks
          installation:
                                       (15M bytes)

          Disk space required for      28,000 blocks
          use (permanent):
                                       (14M bytes)

          DECwrite for VMS, Version 1.1                     SSA 25.F7.01-A



          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

          A minimum of 8M bytes of memory is required on a workstation
          to operate DECwrite and VMS whether DECwrite is running on the
          workstation or on another processor.

          A minimum of 3M bytes of memory is required on a VT1200 to
          display DECwrite.

          OPTIONAL HARDWARE

          DECwrite files can be printed using any Digital Post-
          Script printer, ScriptPrinter, (LN03R), PrintServer 20,
          PrintServer 40 or PrintServer 40 Plus.

          The DECchart component of DECwrite produces both monochrome
          and color PostScript[R]. Monochrome PostScript can be printed
          using any Digital PostScript printer as listed above. If the
          DEC GKS product or runtime system, and the CDA Converter Library
          is installed, then the DDIF Graphics Hardcopy converter can be
          used to generate the color and monochrome sixel formats (printed
          on the Digital LJ250 Companion Color Printer) and the HPGL[TM]
          format (printed on the Digital LVP16). 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 LJ250 Companion Color Printer.

          DECwrite will accept images scanned with the MD-300 Scanner.

          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

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

          *  Note: VMS V5.3 does not support Display PostScript[TM] exten-
             sions.

          This product may run in either of the following ways:

          Window System, Version 11 (X11) protocol. DECwrite executing on
          a remote VMS system with DECnet may be displayed on and receive
          input from the personal computer. The PC DECwindows Display
          Facility is supported only on Intel 80286 and 80386 machines.
          Refer to the DECnet PCSA Client for DOS, Version 3.0 Software
