Preface

The VAX-11 Information Directory and Index provides a brief description of

each manual in the VAX/VMS document set and an index of major topics
covered by the set. The purpose of this manual is to guide users to the manuals most suited to their needs.
This manual is divided into three sections:
¢ A note on system installation
e Synopses

of all documents in the VAX/VMS document set and of
VAX/VMS optional documents (as well as tables listing the title, order
number, and suggested audience for each document)

e An index of major topics covered by the VAX/VMS document set

System Installation

As shipped, the VAX/VMS operating system is ready to run on your VAX-11
processor. You should install the system according to the procedure described
in the software installation guide specific to your processor.
Before installing the system, however, read the VAX/VMS Release Notes
thoroughly. This document contains important, updated information concerning errors and changes in the software and documentation. If you have a

VAX-11/750, you should also read the VAX-11/750 User’s Notes, which provide information about the VAX-11/750 that is not contained elsewhere in the

document set.
To produce a system tailored to the particular hardware and software requirements of your facility, follow the guidelines described in the VAX/VMS Sys-

tem Manager’s Guide.

VAX/VMS Document Descriptions

The VAX/VMS software distribution kit includes a software document set
that provides programming and operation information for the VAX/VMS op-

erating system. DIGITAL ships the complete software document set listed in
Table 1 with each software system. Some of the documents listed in Table 2
are packaged with the document set; others must be ordered separately. Customers receive the optional documents listed in Table 3 when they purchase

separate licenses for optional software products. All of the documents and
document sets listed in this directory are available through separate order.

The manuals in the VAX/VMS software document set are organized into 10
volumes covering the following topics:
General Information
Command Language and System Messages
Program Development Tools

System Services and I/O
Run-Time Library
VAX-11 Record Management Services

RMS-11 Record Management Services
Compatibility Mode (RSX-11M)
System Programming

System Management and Operation

Each volume consists of one or more ring binders containing several manuals.
Table 1 lists all the manuals contained in each volume as well as the order
number and suggested audience for each. Table 2 lists the order number and
suggested audience for other relevant documents not included in the ring
binder set. Brief descriptions of the manuals follow the tables. For a more
complete description of any manual, see its preface. The preface to each
manual also lists pointers to other manuals containing related information.

The audiences for each document are identified by an “X” in one or more of the right-hand
columns of the table. The job titles used are defined as follows:

The operator is anyone who uses the VAX/VMS operating system directly.

The application programmer uses high-level languages to develop programs for user
applications.

The system programmer uses VAX-11 MACRO assembly language (or a development
language) to maintain, modify, and develop system programs. These programs are used to
operate the VAX-11 processor and its peripheral devices.

SM The system manager is responsible for overall operation of the VAX/VMS system, from
installing the system to overseeing its performance to supervising day-to-day operations.
These job titles are only loosely defined, but are useful for indicating the general audience for
each document. In small installations, all tasks may be performed by a single person. Elsewhere, an application programmer might program in assembly language and a system programmer might be responsible for system management. When functions overlap, you should make
appropriate adjustments from the suggested audiences listed in Table 1.

The document set for the VAX-11/750 includes the VAX-11/750 User’s Notes.

VAX/VMS Optional Document Descriptions

Index

The following general index contains entries for major topics covered in the

basic VAX/VMS document set. No entries are listed for optional manuals,
that is, documents for software products purchased by separate license. The
index is not exhaustive, nor is it intended to replace the indexes of the individ-

ual manuals. Rather, its purpose is to guide the user to primary sources of
information on the wide variety of topics covered by the document set.

Most index entries refer to one manual only, the primary source of information on that topic. When two or more manuals are listed, those sources con-

tain closely related information.

Each manual is identified by a 3- to 6-letter abbreviation. The number of the
volume that contains the manual appears in parentheses after the abbreviation. For example, the entry

Bus adapters, WDD (9)
points you to the VAX/VMS Guide to Writing a Device Driver,

(WDD), which

is in volume 9. To find the actual chapter or page where bus adapters are

discussed, you must consult the table of contents or the index of the manual
specified.

The abbreviations and volume numbers of all the manuals in the VAX/VMS

document set are listed on the following pages.
