DIGITAL OpenVMS[TM] VAX[TM] Software Product Library- March 1998 AV-R5FBD-TE Welcome to this month's OpenVMS VAX Software Product Library Package. The March 1998 package includes the changes described in the following sections. Enhancements to the Bookshelf Navigation Utility With this release, we are pleased to introduce enhanced search and help functionality in the Bookshelf Navigation Utility. Please see the Online Documentation Library cover letter for further details. What's new for the NAS Products Beginning with this release of the Software Products Library, the NAS Packages component products will not ship on separate NAS discs within the Software Products Library, but can be found on the Software Products Library discs themselves. The NAS base kits (including the group license table) and NAS documentation are delivered inline on the Software Products Library. The NAS component product kits can be obtained as a part of the Software Product Library or as separate component kits. For a complete list of the NAS component products and their disc location, please consult the NAS table in the Software Products Library Master Index. Archive/Backup System Customers for Archive/Backup System will find the new release of that product in its own directory Library rather than bundled into the Storage Library System kit. Existing customers will continue to be able to access the new 2.2 version with their prior SLS license.
