SUBJECT:  Announcing the Spiralog File System V1.2 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1

AVAILABILITY

The OpenVMS File Systems Technology (OFST) Program is pleased to announce the 
availability of Spiralog Version 1.2.  First Customer Ship (FCS) is March 14th
and the internal network kits are now up on AVOLUB.  Congratulations to the 
Spiralog V1.2 team for pulling this maintenance release together so quickly 
and efficiently.

WHAT'S NEW IN SPIRALOG VERSION 1.2?

	o  Compatibility with OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.1 (Gryphon)
	o  GETDVI's MEDIA_TYPE and MEDIA_NAME item codes no longer return
	   null strings for Spiralog volumes.  MEDIA_TYPE now returns the 
	   string "FS" and MEDIA_NAME now returns the string "F64" for a 
	   Spiralog volume.
