Thank you. Directed Site Contacts: Attached, you'll find a list of the layered product kits that are available now via the Internet for Eagle/Theta field test. This list is a trimmed-down version of the mail that was sent to the field test sites. You might want to scan the list now; there are some status updates that you should be aware of. I've also noted whether the products are privileged or not. In addition, I've tacked on a list of layered products that MAY be available sometime during field test. (Naturally, use discretion when talking with your site about these products.) Again, you might want to look over the list to check on the status of these popular LPs. ** THIS IS A WIDE LISTING - PLEASE PRINT OR DISPLAY USING 132 COLUMNS ** Let me know if there's any other LP information that you'd find helpful! thanks, - Sue STAR::AVERY ==================================================================================================== KITS AVAILABLE NOW: The following kits can be found at this Internet location: http:://www.service.digital.com/openvms username: openvmstheta password: newdigital4890 Product Name and Version Date Avail.
