1544.0. "FT2 Questions" by SUBWAY::WATSON () Thu Oct 05 1989 14:14

    1) I don't see the DECwindows V2 release notes in the FT2 (re: note 1470)
    directory.  Is there one?  Is it too difficult to include all the
    necessary documents in one place?
    
    2) I am confused about the kit naming here.  Does DECW053.% mean this is
    version 5.3 of DECwindows?  
    
    3) Or does this mean this is the DECwindows version which goes best with 
    VMS V5.3?  
    
    I would prefer to see this kit named DECW020 if this is version 2 of 
    DECwindows.
    
    4) Both VMS and DW versions below are field test versions I assume.  
    How come there is not an FTx in the names of the savesets?
    
    
    5) What is the status with DECWDELETE now.  Do you have to delete your
    current version of DW inorder to install this latest field test?
    
    Thanks.

	It is called DECW053 because it's part of the VMS V5.3 kit. The "V1" and "V2" notation for DECwindows is artificial. There is no product called "DECwindows". Steve
