The Tru64 UNIX media kit includes the Associated Products CDs, which delivers additional products and components to your Tru64 UNIX environment. Because many of these products and components are updated more frequently than the Tru64 UNIX operating system, HP makes them available for downloading from the Tru64 UNIX Products Web site when new versions are available: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/products.html Some of the products in the following list are provided on the Associated Products CDs included in the Tru64 UNIX media kit. However, check the Web site to see if newer versions are provided there. Products marked with an asterisk were formerly included on the Associated Products CDs, but now are available only on the Web:
The following sections provide information on products and components that have been updated and included on Associated Products CDs (APCDs) Volume 1 and Volume 2. The following products on the APCD Volume 1 have been updated. The Advanced Printing Software has been updated to Version 1.2B. Advanced Printing Software offers full-featured print spooling functions, such as job scheduling, job retention, event notification, multiple levels of access control, print queue failover, and host transparency when used in a TruCluster Server environment. The Advanced Printing Software provides support for a large number of printers. For more information on Advanced Printing Software and to download the latest version of the printer definition file, see the Tru64 UNIX products Web page: The Firefox Web browser has been added to APCD Volume 1 for this release. Firefox is a free, open source Web browser that is based on the Mozilla code base. It is small, fast, and easy to use. This version of the open source Firefox software (1.5.0.8) is fully supported by HP under the terms of its software license agreement. This release updates DataDirect Connect for ODBC to Version 5.2. DataDirect Connect provides a comprehensive suite of ODBC drivers for all major databases. DataDirect SequeLink Version 5.4 is available from the Tru64 UNIX Products Web site. This highly scalable, server-based middleware gives you a complete platform for data connectivity. The OpenLDAP Directory Server included with this release has been updated to Version 2.3.24. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an Internet standard directory service protocol that runs over TCP/IP. LDAP provides access to directories that support the X.500 model. It provides either a standalone directory service or lightweight access to an X.500 directory, unlike DAP, which incurs a heavier resource footprint. The LDAP client utilities have been updated to Version 2.3.24 for this release. The LDAP utilities are a series of command-line utilities you can use to aid in the administration of the LDAP Authentication Module. All of these tools use the configuration specified in /etc/ldapcd.conf for connecting to the directory server. When installed via the LDPUTILS kit, the executable is located in /usr/sbin/ldap. The HP Fortran run-time support libraries have been updated to Version 5.6. These libraries enable you to run previously compiled programs that require these libraries. The libraries support Fortran program function areas, including input and output, intrinsic functions, data formatting, data conversion, miscellaneous math functions, and Fortran bindings to common operating system services. The following products on the APCD Volume 2 have been updated. Extended System V Functionality has been updated with this release. The System V functionality in the operating system has been extended in some existing commands and library functions to include System V formatted output and support for System V options. EMC NetWorker has been updated to 7.3.2. The version of EMC NetWorker included with this kit supports single systems and systems running HP TruCluster Server Version 5.1B. It also includes a trial version of the EMC NetWorker product. For more information:
