Questions:

We are currently running a vax4100a with VMS version 5.5-2h4 with
DSM version 6.3.  I am a relatively new system operator and would like
to know what I need to do (or know) to upgrade this system
to a higher version of software.  What needs to be 
considered and what sort of migration plan should be followed
if we were to do this?

   The information you seek is available in the OpenVMS VAX Installation
   and Upgrade Manual, the Release Notes, and the New Features Manuals.
   These three documents are available for every OpenVMS release.

   The current software layered product compatibility table is posted at
   the URL http://www.openvms.digital.com/openvms/os/swroll.html.
