                   STB Sections in a New Order

Beginning this month, the Notes & Comments section appears last in the
STB. The SPARC subjects, SunOS subjects, and other sections follow the
STB Editor's Introduction. This new order is for the convenience of STB
readers wanting to see the new articles first.

    SPARC Subjects: the SPARCstation IPC Product Announcement

This month's SPARC subjects include a product announcement and software
details on the SPARCstation IPC. Additional articles on hardware and
options appear in the Hardware, Configurations, & Sales section.

             SunOS Subjects: SunOS Network Security

This month's SunOS Subjects sections features a technical paper on SunOS
network security. The paper presents an authentication system that
greatly improves the security of Sun's network environment. The system
uses DES encryption and publickey cryptography to authenticate both
users and machines in the network.

Configurations: Current Sun Software Products and Release Level Tables

The seven tables showing current Sun software product release levels
appear monthly. These tables show release levels for operating systems,
communications products, unbundled languages, unbundled applications,
unbundled graphics, other products, and TOPS networking products. The
tables in this issue are updated through July 27, 1990.

                         World Hotlines

For Sun customers world-wide served by your local service groups, use
the customer service telephone numbers listed in this monthly item.
Also, look to this section during the upcoming year for details on your
local support call policies and procedures.

                    Reporting Bugs World-Wide

A list of Sun service centers, addresses, email hotlines, and telephone
hotlines appears. The information in this monthly note continues to be
expanded as Sun software service centers are added world-wide.

                STB Subscriptions and Duplication

This notice is published monthly, giving customers useful information
regarding ordering multiple STB hardcopy subscriptions, and duplicating
additional STB copies from a single `master' copy. This duplication
permission is limited, as detailed in the note.
