Layered Products and the HPE OpenVMS Integrity/Alpha Servers Operating 
Environment Products Online Documentation Library (ODL) CD-ROMs.  It provides 
general installation and user information for the ODLs.

The OpenVMS Alpha ODLs consist of ISO 9660 Level 2 (ODL-ISO) compliant CD-ROMs 
that can be run from Microsoft® Windows® and HPE OpenVMS platforms.

These discs contain documentation in HTML and PDF format, and use HTML pages

Operating Environment and Layered Products ODL CD-ROMs

The Operating Environment ODL CD-ROM supports both the OpenVMS Integrity and 
Alpha Servers and contains documentation common to both platforms.  Operating 
System and key layered products have been selected for inclusion.  For OpenVMS 
Integrity Servers, most of the Operating Environment components are included.  
Platform-specific products are identified as “I64” or “Alpha”.  

OpenVMS Alpha Layered Products not included on the Operating Environments ODL 
CD-ROM are delivered on the Layered Products ODL CD-ROM that is specific to the 
Alpha platform.
