           Before You Install DEC RdbAccess for ORACLE on VMS, Version 1.0


          Dear Customer,


          Welcome to DEC RdbAccess for ORACLE on VMS, Version 1.0.

          Read the enclosed Bill of Materials. Check to see that all items
          listed there are in your kit. If any items are missing, contact
          your Digital representative.

          Be sure that you have VMS Version 5.2 or higher installed on
          your system.

          If you are using a workstation, you can use Bookreader to view
          the Handbook, Installation Guide, and Release Notes.

          The DEC RdbAccess for ORACLE on VMS Release Notes contain de-
          scriptions of restrictions or problems discovered too late in
          the engineering process to be corrected. An online text file
          located in SYS$HELP:VIDAO$010.RELEASE_NOTES contains the most
          recent release notes.

          For information on installing DEC RdbAccess for ORACLE on VMS,
          please consult the
          DEC RdbAccess for ORACLE on VMS Installation Guide.

          You can use RdbAccess without being logged in on the same VAX
          processor that has
          RdbAccess installed. You can be on any other VAX/VMS system in
          the Digital network that has Rdb/VMS installed to access a node
          that has RdbAccess installed. This is called remote end user
          access.

          However, RdbAccess must be installed on the node that also has
          the ORACLE RDBMS installed, but the ORACLE database can be on a
          remote system. If you are using a system that has both RdbAccess
          and ORACLE installed, you can use remote ORACLE database access
          to access an ORACLE database on another system.
