Longtime s-news subscribers may recall that support for S-PLUS for DEC Alpha
machines had been discontinued following S-PLUS 5. Well, the good news for
Compaq Alpha (as it's now known) users is that S-PLUS 6 will be released for
Compaq Alpha Tru64 UNIX. The following letter is being sent to all S-PLUS
customers on the Alpha platform.
# David
Dear Valued Customer:
Announcing Support for S-PLUS 6 for Compaq Alpha Tru64 UNIX
Earlier this year we notified you that we had discontinued development of
S-PLUS for the Compaq Alpha UNIX operating system. Due to renewed demand and
cooperation with Compaq Computer Corporation, we have reinstated support for
the Compaq Alpha platform.
If your S-PLUS license(s) are currently under maintenance, you will
automatically receive S-PLUS 6 for Compaq Alpha Tru64 UNIX when it is
released. If you are still using S-PLUS on Compaq Alpha but are not
currently on maintenance, you can receive S-PLUS 6 simply by renewing your
maintenance (without any late penalties). If you have transferred your
Compaq Alpha license to another UNIX platform earlier this year you may
transfer back at no charge. Please send e-mail to ssr@statsci.com if you
wish to renew your maintenance or transfer your license.
We are delighted to be able to support Tru64 UNIX with Version 6, which is
very well suited for large data and compute-intensive projects. Our goal is
to release this version before Dec. 31, 2000. I hope you continue to enjoy
using S-PLUS and welcome any comments or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Mauer
Director of Product Management
