	The OpenVMS, and Windows NT for Intel and Alpha Systems versions
	of this kit will be available later this week.

	Features of this version include:

	o  Application Programming Interface.  Object libraries and
	   include files, and documentation for the interface that
	   we use in the CLI and GUI.

	o  Find.  A command available in the CLI and GUI to locate
	   a cartridge's location by volume tag.

	o  Home.  A command available in the CLI and GUI to return
	   a cartridge to its previous location.

	o  Position.  A command available in the CLI and GUI to position
	   the transport to a specific element.

	o  Initialize.  A command available in the CLI to send a SCSI
	   Initialize Element Status command to the medium changer.

	o  Transport support.  Extensions to the CLI interface allowing
	   the Show and Move command to work on transport elements (where
	   supported by the underlying medium changer).

	If you have customers that would be interested in being a field
	test site for any of the versions, please contact Bryan Cox at
	COOKIE::COX.

	
2694.35OpenVMS and NT kits.NABETH::alanDr. File System's Home for Wayward Inodes.Thu Apr 17 1997 20:5924
The OpenVMS kit for the MRU T1.2 Field Test is available on:

	COOKIE::AIM$PUBLIC:[MRU.V1_2]ROBOT.SAV

The save-set above contains all three installable save-sets,
which are available seperately as:

	COOKIE::AIM$PUBLIC:[MRU.V1_2]ROBOT012.%

This kit has the same features as the Digital UNIX version.
However, the OpenVMS doesn't have help for the API.  The
installation puts versions of the examples in SYS$EXAMPLES.
Once we have a help library for the VMS version of the API,
we'll announce it here.

The Windows NT kits are on:

	COOKIE::AIM$PUBLIC:[MRU.V1_2]MRU_V12_ALPHA.ZIP
	COOKIE::AIM$PUBLIC:[MRU.V1_2]MRU_V12_INTEL.ZIP

As with the OpenVMS kit, the API is under-documented, but
necessary include files are present.
