Dear Distribution lists,

It is my pleasure to announce the availability of the most current issue
of the OpenVMS Technical Journal. As always, we have a number of
excellent articles for you to enjoy. You may not know that the VTJ is a
volunteer effort and hence a labor of love not only for the
contributors, but also for the larger community. Many thanks to the
entire team for making this possible. 

Now for some highlights about the five articles in this issue for your
reading pleasure. 

Bruce Ellis has written an excellent and detailed article on "OpenVMS
Mailboxes: Concepts, Programming, and Troubleshooting." Among other
things, this article describes what mailboxes are and how OpenVMS
implements them and describes implementation considerations and 
common
problems. 

Ted Saul has written an article "OpenVMS Backup Products: ABS/MDMS 
and
Data Protector Compared." HP offers two backup applications for the
OpenVMS operating system at this time: the Archive Backup 
System/Media
and Device Management Services (ABS/MDMS) application and the Data
Protector application. This article will point out the similarities and
differences between the two, in order to help in the selection process
between the products. 

Once again, Guy Peleg has written an article, this time with the
provocative title: "Alignment Faults - What Are they and Why Should I
Care?" The article explains what alignment faults are, describes how
alignment faults impact application performance, presents ways to 
detect
alignment faults on a running system, and provides a few ideas on 
fixing
them. 

Speaking of alignment faults, one of our engineers from the DECnet 
team,
Ajo Jose Panoor, has written an article on "Methodologies for Fixing
Alignment Faults." This paper describes the methods followed to fix the
alignment faults in OpenVMS DECnet Itanium. Because DECnet-Plus is a
networking protocol, any performance degradation arising from the
protocol stack has major implications on overall system performance 
and
utilization. 

And last, but by no means least, Bruce Claremont has written the article
"Simplifying Maintenance with DCL." Expedient problem resolution is an
important element of effective software application maintenance and a
crucial component of job retention. Key to resolving a problem is
effective identification of its cause. A couple of decades (!) ago Bruce
also developed a standardized wrapper for OpenVMS DCL procedures 
that
proved an effective assistant in locating processing problems.

As always thank you for your continued support and feedback.
