Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: DXNMS, Version 1.0, WPS-8 to Host Software Utility
DESCRIPTION:
OX/VMS is a FORTRAN IV-PLUS software package
that executes on a VAX/VMS operating system. It enables a WPS-8 word processing system running
WPS-8, WPS-8178, or WPS-8/MTS software to communicate with the VAX/VMS host over an asynchronous terminal interface. The WPS-8 system appears
to the host to be a normal terminal. Communication
between the·WPS-8 system and the VAX/VMS system
uses the OX error-correcting message protocol.
OX/VMS thus effectively enables distributed standalone WPS-8 systems and the host VAX/VMS system
to be linked together for better system utilization and
data sharing. The OX/VMS package includes utility
programs that convert VAX/VMS files stored in word
processing format to VAX/VMS files stored in ASCII
format and vice versa.
OX/VMS enables the WPS-8 system user to:
• Store word proceSSing format files on a VAX/VMS
system and later retrieve them. The ability to use
the VAX/VMS disk structure enables the WPS-8
system user to access a large number of documents that might fill several document floppies, including large documents filling an entire floppy.
• Use the high-speed PDP-11 line printer connected
to the VAX/VMS system to print rough drafts and
other documents which do not require letter quality
printing. This increases system throughput and increases the availability of the WPS-8 letter quality
printer for printing final drafts. Conversely, the
VAX/VMS system user can output text files converted from the VAX/VMS file system on the WPS-8
letter quality printer.
• Create VAX/VMS source language and data files
off-line from the VAX/VMS system using the WPS-8
editor, and then transmit the files to the VAX/VMS
system for processing.
MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
The following system configurations are required:
• Any valid VAX/VMS operating system configuration
supporting FORTRAN IV-PLUS that has an available local or remote serial asynchronous terminal
line supported by the operating system.
• Any valid WPS-8 or WPS-8/MTS system configuration with communication option or one WS78-CA.
Each additional WPS-8 system connected to the
VAX/VMS system requires its own line.

ADDENDUM
SOFTWARE SUPPORT CATEGORIES
Each software product (hereinafter 'SOFTWARE') with a designated Support Category A or B in the applicable Software Product
Description (SPD) existing at the time of order will be the current release at the time of delivery and will conform to the SPD.
DIGITAL's sole obligation shall be to correct defects (nonconformance of the SOFTWARE to the SPD) as described below. Any
SOFTWARE with a deSignated Support Category C will be furnished on an 'as is' basis.
For SOFTWARE with a deSignated Support Category A or B, DIGITAL will provide the services set forth below without additional
charge.
CATEGORY A
1. Upon notification by customer to the nearest DIGITAL office that the computer system, including all required prerequisite
hardware and software, is ready for the installation of the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will install such SOFTWARE in any location
within the contiguous forty-eight (48) United States, the District of Columbia, or a country in which DIGITAL or a subsidiary
of DIGITAL has a software service facility. The notification must be received by DIGITAL and the system must be ready for
installation within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the SOFTWARE to customer or DIGITAL will have no obligation to
install. Installation will consist of: (1) verification that all components of the SOFTWARE have been received by customer, (2)
loading the SOFTWARE, and (3) executing a DIGITAL sample procedure.
2. During the ninety (90) day period after installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the current unaltered release
of the SOFTWARE which DIGITAL determines to be a defect in the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will provide the following remedial
service (on site where necessary): (1) if the SOFTWARE is inoperable, apply a temporary correction (TC) or make a
reasonable attempt to develop an emergency by-pass, and (2) assist the customer to prepare a Software Performance
Report (SPR) and submit it to DIGITAL.
3. During the one (1) year period following installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the SOFTWARE which his
diagnosis indicates is caused by a SOFTWARE defect, the customer may submit an SPR to DIGITAL. DIGITAL will respond
to problems reported in SPRs which are caused by defects in the current unaltered release of the SOFTWARE via the
Maintenance Periodical for the SOFTWARE, which reports SPRs received, code corrections, temporary corrections, generally
useful emergency by-passes and/or notice of the availability of corrected code. Software Updates, if any, released by
DIGITAL during the one (1) year period, will be provided to the customer on DIGITAL's standard distribution media as
specified in the applicable SPD. The customer will be charged only for the media on which such updates are provided,
unless otherwise stated in the applicable SPD, at DIGITAL's then current media prices.
CATEGORY B
During the one (1) year period following delivery, the services provided to the customer will be the same as set forth in 3 above.
CATEGORY C
SOFTWARE is provided on an 'as is' basis. Any software services, if available, will be provided at the then current charges.
DIGITAL shall have the right to make additional charges for any additional effort required to provide services resulting from
customer use of other than current unaltered release of the SOFTWARE operated in accordance with the SPD.
