   Separate passwords will be provided for OpenVMS Alpha,
   OpenVMS VAX  and Tru64 UNIX Software Products
   Libraries. The password will permit access for one quarter.
   Passwords will expire but remain in effect long enough to
   permit early access to the following quarter's release.
   Customers register via Register for SPL mailings will be
   given email notice when the new quarterly binaries become
   available for download on the website.

   Web downloads are offered for all products** on the "consolidated
   CD-ROMs" as listed in the Master Index starting with releases in
   2003. Use the Master Index to navigate to the products you wish to
   download. Downloads are not available for the Operating Systems
   and OpenVMS Integrity software products see:
   Software Updates Service and Download Information for details.

    For a limited number of software products, HP offers an    
    Individual Product Offering (IPO). Occasionally, Full-Kit ECO
    distributions are made available for products with IPOs.
    Login information will be provided in a separately mailed letter.
    Full-Kit ECO distributions are replacement product kits for the
    currently shipping version. See the Full-Kit ECO Index.

   Downloads of the software binaries will be in .ZIP file format,
   consisting of the save set(s) i.e. xxx.A, xxx.B, xxx.C and the
   xxx_IGUIDE.TXT.

   For http downloading:
   A requirement for download is to use of Microsoft Internet
   Explorer 5.1 or greater, or a similar web browser that allows
   challenge/response (NTLM) authentication. You may not be able to
   download through a proxy server, if it will not allow encrypted
   passwords. You will then need to bypass the proxy server.

   All three entries: User Name, Password, and Domain Name are
   necessary to accomplish the download.

   For those Operating Systems, similar to Microsoft Windows XP,
   that return a two line challenge of User Name and Password, enter
   the Domain Name follow by a reverse slash(\), then the User Name
   in the User Name field. e.g.  User Name: DomainName\UserName

   For those Operating Systems, similar to In Microsoft Windows
   2000, you may get a system message from YOUR system's
   operating system, stating that: "Your Current Security setting does
   not allow this file to be downloaded". In this situation, you must
   add h30266.www3.hp.com as a trusted system for
   the download.  To do this: In Internet Explorer, choose "Tools",
   then "Internet Options", click "Security" tab, click "Trusted Sites",
   click "Sites", "Add this website to the zone", enter the above web
   sites, click "OK", click "OK", then download SPL ZIP file.

   For ftp downloading:
   Select the "ftp download" option on the Product detail page and
   follow the instructions.

   After downloading:
   For those desk top systems that have associated certain programs
   that run when you click on a ***.ZIP file, you may need to
   disassociate that linkage in order to download. See your local
   system manager for help if necessary.

   Downloading is similar to SPL CD software loading, in that a valid
   software license is necessary to run the software. 

   Notes: **. Some products on the SPL do not have savesets, thus
                   are not downloadable.
            ***. Zip files should be copied to, and unzipped, on the
                   operating system there are intended for.
