1416.0. "Location of Digital UNIX scans?" by WROS01::MADSEN () Mon Oct 28 1996 13:49

    I thought I had added a note with this question to a previous note
    about scans, but can't seem to find it. . . maybe I was dreaming.  My
    question is this:  The scans which have been collected come on the VMS
    distribution complementary CD, but they don't on the one for Digital
    UNIX.  Where can a customer get the scans if they don't have any VMS
    systems and thus access to the VMS CD's?
    
    Thanks,
    Terry

	Just thought I would add another comment to this issue...

	As you probably already know this product is now owned by Computer
Associates.  I would suggest that for future issues such as these, customers
should be sending their concerns to CA as well.  I've heard that CA makes
a real effort to respond to customers so if they can access the Web - have
them send CA Email.

1416.3Thanks. . .WROS01::MADSENWed Oct 30 1996 11:575
    Thanks for the pointers.  As a consultant who  installs and configures
    PCM at customer sites, I haven't yet figured out what our relationship
    is with CA for support of these services. . .

    As this moment, Digital receives all the support revenue and thus
    provides all support. Currently, CA does not have the expertise
    necessary to support PCM or any of the other products that they
    bought. This may or may not change.
    
    Having said that, this business with the scan profiles has been going
    on for years. There has never been anyone chartered or funded to
    provide updates or new profiles from new products. Hopefully this will
    change. I can tell you that there is a maintenance release planned for
    PCM. One of the goals of this release is to include as many/all of the
    known scan-profiles on the kit. There is also work being done on a 
    real scan-profile for Digital Unix. It is anticipated that this
    maintenance release will be ready for beta-testing in Decmeber.

1416.5Once more into the breach. . .WROS01::MADSENTue Jan 14 1997 11:3712
    I am again at a customer installing and configuring PCM for Digital
    UNIX,  and trying to find the generic scan file.  I looked at the
    Internet location you pointed to in your October note, but it was not
    there (also was not when I looked in October).  Your note indicated
    that a new UNIX scan file was being created which might be available in
    December.  Did that happen, and if so where could I get a copy of the
    file.  If not, I'm still interested in getting a copy of the original
    generic file as I am not familiar enough with UNIX to know any useful
    text to scan for other than "panic".
    
    Thanks,
    Terry
