Kedves Listalakók, kb 3 hétig gond volt a lista szerverével, nem tudtam 
továbbküldeni a híreket. Most majd folyamatosan küldöm az eddig 
őrizgetetteket is, vegyesen a frissekkel.
Elnézést kérek mind a hírek elmaradásáért, mind a hirtelen túl sok 
levélért.

>From the latest Synerg E News

IT'S NOW EASIER FOR OpenVMS USERS TO INSTALL SYNERGY/DE 
LICENSE PAKs 

Now when you request Synergy/DE license PAKs for OpenVMS, you will
receive them as an email attachment from Synergex. You can save this
attachment as a command file on your OpenVMS (Alpha or Itanium) 
system;
and then, instead of manually typing in the license information, you can
simply run the command file to install your Synergy/DE license PAKs.

For more information about this new process, contact your Synergy/DE
Account Manager.
