re: 8.13

CAUTION!

Although 8.13 says:

     From V6.2, one can upgrade to V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, or V6.2-1H3.

This is technically wrong.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE USING THE FULL
V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, or V6.2-1H3 KITS!  The *correct* way to move from
V6.2 or V6.2-1H* is to apply the partial UPDATE kit, which is a VMSINSTAL
kit, not a PCSI kit.

If you attempt to install the full V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, or V6.2-1H3 kits
as an upgrade, you will receive a warning/error.  Do not override the 
recommendation to terminate.  Instead, discontinue the upgrade and use
the VMSINSTAL update kit.
8.15ADS (Automatic Distribution Service) Contact InfoXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon Jan 27 1997 17:418
    
    Digital Internal folk can join Automatic Distribution Service (ADS)
    for CD-ROMs (etc) by calling DTN 264-3729 (603-884-3729).  The ADS
    contact (for internal orders) is/was Jane Brown at mailstop NQO/W21.
    To order, send your name, badge, cost center, mailstop and address,
    e-mail address, and DTN, as well as the particular ADS kit(s) you
    want to subscribe to.
    
8.16How did OpenVMS/Alpha ship?THEBAY::WIEGLEBVoracious schools of lottery girlsMon Mar 24 1997 23:3411
    In the March CON-DIST there is mention of OpenVMS/ALPHA Operating
    System kits being shipped as part of the CON-DIST CDs beginning in 
    Dec 1996.  Since someone heisted my December CDs, I haven't been able
    to find whether the OpenVMS kit was in there.  (It's not on the March
    CDs.) 
    
    Was OpenVMS/Alpha only shipped as a separate package, or did it also
    ship as part of the December CON-DIST Layered Products CD package?  I'm
    still trying to get hold of a copy.

8.17Call SSB And Order (It's Cheap)XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Mar 25 1997 00:1014
   OpenVMS ships as a seperate CD-ROM kit, with a courtesy copy on some
   of the LP CD-ROM kit distributions.

   OpenVMS Alpha revenue shipped 24-Jan-1997.

   If the December CD-ROM distribution went out on time, it didn't have
   OpenVMS V7.1 on it.

   See the previous notes for how to order a CD-ROM -- the internal kit
   price for the CD-ROM is cheap...  Also see previous notes for how to
   pull over and create a kit from the network kit -- there's a "readme"
   in the OpenVMS Alpha kit distribution area that describes the steps.

    Re: .17
    
    VMS does (supposedly) now ship with ALL SPL (ConDist) distributions.
    This is new as of December.
