Some information about the availability of MRMEMO and the different versions:
VAX Mailgate for MEMO Version 1.0 was released in late '87 as a product
(available through SDC) in Sweden, and through the ASSETS library, Turin,
for all other countries. The software provides a bridge between DEC's Mailbus
and the IBM mainframe based MEMO system
Version 1.1 was released in '88, and the sole fix was to provide support
for VMS version 5.0. No change in distribution channels.
Version 2.0 was released August '89, and new features are DDS support and
enhanced service message handling. Some difference in availability: The
software is now available through SDC in Germany as well as Sweden. The
rest of the world still obtain their kits through ASSETS. However, the status
of the software has been raised: It is now a PASS, which means that there
is some support provided from Turin. Maybe somebody wants to expand on this?
Info on ASSETS as a whole can be obtained from the notes file POMPEO::EOASSETS

The long awaited special "fix" version 2.0A is now available. As stated
otherwise in this conference it's available at request as below:
Sweden: Contact product MGR, Jan Plars @SOO
Germany: Contact product MGR, Frank Lauer @FRO
Rest of the world: Contact ASSETS representative, Aldo Demichelis @TNO
General rule of thumb as to whether your customer should install this
version is:
1) DO if your MRMEMO system:
- Interoperates with MRX.
- Any of /SEND_NOTIFICATION or /REQUEST_NOTIFICATION is enabled in
MRMEMO server.
- MEMO recipient validation is enabled in MRMEMO server.
- Has any of the other problems that are fixed and that are listed in
the Release Notes, published in Note 4.1
2) DON'T if you're happy with the way your MRMEMO system works, a proper
version will come your way soon enough.

Version 2.1 of MRMEMO has shipped. I would like to express my thanks to
everybody who helped making this a smooth project.
The software is available through normal distribution channels in
Germany and Sweden. The rest of the world please contact the ASSETS
representative in Turin, Aldo Demichelis @TNO
Netkits will be protected most of the time, because we want to
make ASSETS the major software source and give the ASSETS people a
chance to keep record of their "customers".
In an emergency though, we can "unprotect" the kits. Mail me,
STKOFF::SPERSSON (Stefan Persson@SOO) or STKHLM::OLSSON (Anders
Olsson@SOO) with your request.
The documentation is unprotected, English versions can be found at:
