20.0. "Potential User ..." by CHEV02::RASLAWSKI (W. Jon Raslawski, Chicago (RLO), DTN: 421-5747) Tue Jul 01 1986 13:44

    Hi folks,
    
    I was pointed to this conference by a note in the ALL-IN-1 Version
    2 Notes conference.
    
    I had a chance to copy over ZAP and WHO, and both these product sound
    neat !!!
    
    However, I have a major question.  Can I give this product to a major
    customer (with lots of potential future business).  This customer is
    one of our "showcase" accounts in the district. They have in the past
    had 1 to 3 software residents on-site at the same time. They are
    currently field testing about 4 different products from DEC. 

    I'm a software resident who had his contract extended by another 8
    months, so I plan on being here for a while.  The customer is aware
    that support for this program is only available through me. 
    
    Your program is recommended as a replacement for WATCHDOG.


    	What I'm looking for here is: Official blessings, to give this
    program to my customer ??  Whichever way, please respond !!!
    
    Thank You in advance... 
    
    Jon...

    I do not know the Corporate Policy reguarding the distribution of
    software that was developed for internal use only to outside customers.
    
    It should be noted that the current release of the Zap software
    is not a field test, nor is it free of known bugs.  Also, the use
    of any idle process deletion utility on a heavily loaded system
    can cause more problems than it will help.
    
    If you would like to obtain more information about the possible
    release of Zap to outside customers, please contact me either
    by phone at DTN: 297-5744 or VaxMail address MRMFG0::K_MACONI.
