2.1 Associated Product Support
The Software Public Rollout Reports for OpenVMS lists the availability of HP
software products shipping on the Software Products Library kits (CD–ROM
consolidations) for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX and on the Layered
Product Library kits (DVD consolidation) for OpenVMS Integrity servers.
The reports contain the product name and version, the operating system version
required to support the product, and the volume ship date for the product. The
information in these tables is continually evolving and is subject to change.
The reports are intended for public distribution and are updated monthly. The
information is not provided in these release notes because of the changing nature
of the information.
The Software Public Rollout Reports for OpenVMS is available at:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/os/swroll/
If you do not have Internet access, you can find the operating system support
information on any of the quarterly Software Products Libraries in the following
files:
[README]SW_COMPAT_MATRIX.PS
[README]SW_COMPAT_MATRIX.TXT
The Software Public Rollout Reports are also available from your HP support
representative.
Because of a change in OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 and later, BASIC versions prior
to V1.5A cannot create the BASIC$STARLET library file during installation.
Earlier versions of BASIC can install on OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 and later,
provided you do not request the option to build the STARLET library file. Also,
previously installed BASIC compilers and previously created STARLET library
files will continue to function after upgrading an older OpenVMS system to
Version 7.3-2 and later.
It is only the BASIC$STARLET library file creation that does not work on
OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 and later. The BASIC V1.5A kit contains an enhanced
installation procedure that correctly builds the STARLET library file on
OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 and later.
BASIC V1.6 is available on the latest consolidated layered product CD.
