Processors Not Supported

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

 
Processor Restrictions

At least fourteen megabytes of physical memory are required for 
supported VAXstation and MicroVAX configurations.  In addition, two  
RZ23s  or  the equivalent of 200Mb of disk are required for standalone 
VAXstation 3100s. An  RD54,  or equivalent 159MB disk, is required  for 
all other  supported, standalone  VAXstation  and MicroVAX  
configurations.  A TK50 Tape Drive is  required  for  standalone 
MicroVAX 2000 and VAXstation 2000 systems.

 
 
 
Other Hardware Required

oo   A 200MB disk is the minimum disk configuration.

oo   Exclusive of operating system requirements, physical memory 
    available on a supported system should amount to no less than two 
    megabytes per simultaneous VAX LISP/VMS user. For optimum 
    performance, this amount of memory should be allocated to each 
    user's working set.

oo   Use of the VAX LISP/VMS Editor requires a Digital video terminal or 
    a non-Digital terminal supported by the Screen Management Guidelines 
    (SMG) facility.

Note:	 LISP's symbolic processing capabilities make it suitable for 
         applications which can be CPU-cycle intensive. In a heavily 
         loaded environment, VAX LISP/VMS applications can degrade 
         system performance due to this LISP characteristic.

Disk space required for installation:

Installation of only the VAX LISP/VMS image which includes support for 
DECwindows:
							   19,266 blocks
							     (10M bytes)

Installation of only the VAX LISP/VMS image which includes support for 
VWS:
							   13,746 blocks
							      (7M bytes)

Installation of entire VAX LISP/VMS kit which includes support for 
DECwindows:
							   93,627 blocks
							     (48M bytes)

Disk space required for use (permanent):

Installation of only the VAX LISP/VMS image which includes support for 
DECwindows:
							   18,804 blocks
							    (9.6M bytes)

Installation of only the VAX LISP/VMS image which includes support for 
VWS:
							   13,296 blocks
							    (6.9M bytes)

Installation of entire VAX LISP/VMS kit which includes support for 
DECwindows:
							   92,985 blocks
							     (48M 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 for DECwindows Support

The minimum supported memory requirement for this application running in 
a standalone terminal or VWS environment is 8MB.

The minimum supported memory requirement for this application running in 
a standalone DECwindows environment with both the client and server 
executing on the same system is 14MB.

The use of this software in conjunction with increased memory capability  
improves performance. The memory size for most typical configurations is 
at least 16MB.

OPTIONAL HARDWARE

None

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.

Note:	 A local disk is recommended for improved performance.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

For Systems using Terminals (No DECwindows interface):

VMS Operating System V5.2 - V5.3

For Workstations running VMS Workstation Software (No DECwindows 
Interface):

VMS Operating System V5.2 - V5.3

VMS Workstation Software V4.3

For Workstations running VMS DECwindows:

VMS Operating System V5.2 - V5.3 (and the necessary components of VMS 
DECwindows)

 
This product may run in either of the following ways:

oo   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:

oo   VMS DECwindows Compute Server (Base kit; provides runtime support)

oo   VMS DECwindows Device Support

oo   VMS DECwindows Programming Support

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

oo   VMS DECwindows Compute Server (runtime support)

oo   VMS DECwindows Device Support

oo   VMS DECwindows Programming Support

For remote execution, the following DECwindows components must be 
installed on the machines:

Server Machine

oo   VMS DECwindows Device Support

Client Machine

oo   VMS DECwindows Compute Server (runtime support)

oo   VMS DECwindows Programming Support

VMS Tailoring

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

oo   VMS Required Saveset

oo   Programming Support

oo   Utilities


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

None

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.

A VAX LISP/VMS version update represents a complete distribution media 
replacement for the previous release. Individual VAX LISP/VMS components 
in the latest version are incompatible with components in previous 
versions. Users must recreate suspended systems under new versions of 
VAX LISP/VMS and will have to recompile user-developed source modules.

 
 
 
 
DISTRIBUTION MEDIA

Tape:	       9-Track 1600 BPI Magtape (PE), TK50 Streaming Tape

This product is also available as part of the VMS Consolidated Software 
Distribution on CDROM.
