16.0. "Help us certify VAX DOCUMENT" by VAXUUM::ADLER () Mon Feb 23 1987 19:02

    Before being submitted to the SDC, VAX DOCUMENT must be certified on
    a variety of processors and versions of VMS. We've been told by
    the SQM group (which monitors certification) that we can use field
    test results from internal sites as a basis for certification.
    
    If you're giving VAX DOCUMENT a thorough workout 
    (using several doctypes and using the software on a regular basis), 
    please use this note to tell us what processor(s) you're using
    and what version(s) of VMS you're running. We, in turn, will be able
    to use the resources which would have been used for certification
    to make the system better.
    
    These are the processors on which we must be certified:
    
                                     ___ MICROVAX I
             ___ VAX-11/730          ___ MICROVAX II
             ___ VAX-11/750          ___ VAXSTATION I
             ___ VAX-11/780          ___ VAXSTATION II
             ___ VAX-11/782          ___ MICROVAX 2000 (TEAMMATE)
             ___ VAX-11/785          ___ VAXSTATION 2000 (VAXSTAR)
             ___ VAX 8600            ___ VAX 8650
             ___ VAX 8200 (SCORPIO)  ___ VAX 8300 (SCORPIO)
             ___ VAX 8500 (NAUTILUS) ___ VAX 8550 (NAUTILUS)
             ___ VAX 8700 (NAUTILUS) ___ VAX 8800 (NAUTILUS)
             ___ MAYFAIR
    
    These are the versions of VMS on which we must be certified (field
    test versions of V4.6, V4.7, and V5.0):
    
             ___ VMS V4.4            ___ uVMS V4.4
             ___ VMS V4.5            ___ uVMS V4.5
             ___ VMS V4.6            ___ uVMS V4.6
             ___ VMS V4.7            ___ uVMS V4.7
             ___ VMS V5.0

16.1VAXStation II, uVMS 4.5I::STOCKSMon Feb 23 1987 22:516
I'm running a VAXStation II (QVSS), under SDC uVMS4.5

I've been using GENERAL (heavily) and SOFTWARE (moderately), with no problems.

16.28650/V4.5ATLAST::BOUKNIGHTEverything has an outlineTue Feb 24 1987 09:327
    Same here  on the VAXstation II, VMS 4.5.
    
    We have also installed DOCUMENT with LSE, LINE, LN03, and POSTSCRIPT
    support on an 8650 running V4.5 of VMS.  The writer group will be
    giving it a heavy going over.

DOCUMENT T1.0  will soon be installed on our cluster for the ESD&P
writing group in Reading, England.

The cluster contains the following machines:

1  8600
2  785's
2  8300's

The cluster is running VMS 4.5.

16.4T1.0 on 3D38082::BOYACKTue Feb 24 1987 15:026
    We reinstalled T1.0 this morning with DEC internals and are running
    on a cluster with 1 780 and 2 8500, all running VMS 4.5. We use
    local doctypes (LYNX and its offspring) heavily and OVERHEADS and
    GENERAL occasionally

    We are about to install BL07 on the ASD Cluster:
    
    785 (TOPDOC)
    750 (EN)
    750 (EM)
    
    Running VMS 4.5
    
    We have over 20 writers using DOCUMENT. Doctypes include LAYERED,
    GENERAL, VMSREF, and OVERHEAD. We also plan to install DOCUMENT
    on a MicroVAX II (standalone at first, then with a LAVC).

    I've got 2*11/750 cluster with VMS 4.5. Everything is running smoothly
    (when DOCUMENT is running smoothly, anyhing else is not).
16.8MicroVAX IILOLITA::KEEFEFri Mar 06 1987 14:554
    MicroVAX II, uVMS 4.5, supporting a writing group. Typically 6 - 10 
    users. Two or three people processing DOCUMENT at once is fairly
    common. The HARDWARE doctype is used the most.
    
16.9Using documentZENSNI::AMENDTue Mar 10 1987 07:497
    We are running on a cluster with 3 11/785s and 1 11/780 using VMS
    4.5.  We have 24 writers that are using about 5 differenct document
    styles

    We are using DOCUMENT on 8200 and 8300 processors in a cluster.
    In addition to a more limited extent on 750 and �VAX II (Q5).

    Using a VAX 750 with about 7 people developing course material
    using mainly Manual and Overhead. Will be upgrading to either 785's
    or 8000 series later.
    
16.12DOCUMENT on COOKIE clusterCOOKIE::KELLERTue May 12 1987 11:0011
    We have had DOCUMENT FT 1.0 up on the cluster for a couple of months
    without any real problems.  Cluster is:
    
    3 - 11/785's
    1 - 8650
    1 - 8700
    1 - 8800
    
    all running VMS V4.5.  We use most all doctypes and destinations
    on a regular basis.

16.13For what its worthBUNSUP::LITTLETodd Little NJCD SWS 323-4475Tue May 12 1987 16:217
	We're using baselevels 6, 7, and 8 on a 3 node homogeneous
VAXcluster running VMS V4.4.  The machines are a 750, 780, and 785.
Not sure what pattern of doctypes are used, although GENERAL, MEMO, OVERHEAD,
SOFT.SPEC, EDUOVER, and a local variant of GENERAL for proposals, are
probably used regularly.

I run DOCUMENT on CHAMBR, MicroVAX II.

	Runs fine, I have only used SOFT.SPEC so far.

    I've got an LAVC made up a 750 and numerous VS 2000's. It has run
    DOUCMENT since BL6 -- currently it's at BL8. VMS V4.5C
    
    I've also run DOCUMENT BL7/8 on a VS2000 standalone -- it's my "portable"
    DOCUMENT/EDUOVER system -- for example it was at DECUS -- great
    for those last minute presentations --- VMS V4.5B.

16.20Still missing 725 and/or 730CLOSET::ADLERTue Jun 30 1987 17:205
Thanks for all of the quick responses! The only processors that are
not covered, then, are the VAX-11/725 and the VAX-11/730. Is anyone
running on either of those?
