************************************************************

This announcement introduces the Software Technical Bulletin
(STB), published monthly by the Technical Information Services
(TIS) group within Sun's World-Wide Field Operations Headquarters
Operations (WWFO HQ-OPS).

The STB includes timely and technical information on items
of interest to programmers, system administrators, and Sun
workstation end-users.  

The information ranges from short subjects covering a limited
topic to articles and in-depth features containing detailed
discussions on networking, the SunOS, programming languages,
graphics, and applications programs.  You will find the 
yearly cumulative index helpful to locate needed information
from any STB issue.


A) WHO RECEIVES THE SOFTWARE TECHNICAL BULLETIN (STB)

Each customer software support contract includes a monthly issue of the STB.

One copy of the STB is mailed to the person designated as the technical
contact.  This person receives all technical literature and software
updates for the contract.  Sites with more than one contract may
receive more than one STB copy, depending on how the contracts are set
up.  For example, a company with three contracts would receive three
STBs.

Note:  These primary technical contact persons or departments may
duplicate their `master' STB copy for all Sun workstation end-users.
This limited permission for duplication does not include any
duplication for resale, for distribution outside your company, or for
distribution to employees of other companies not having a Sun software
support contract.

Plans are underway for contracts to include more than one copy of the
STB distributed directly to individuals.  Details on this availability
will be forthcoming from Customer Service Division (CSD) Marketing.


B) HOW TO MAKE CORRECTIONS OR CHANGES IN THE STB
   MAILING ADDRESS AND/OR CUSTOMER NAME

Distribution and maintenance of the mailing lists is not processed by
the Software Information Services group.

If you are not sure who the primary technical contact at a site is, or
if you have any problems relating to incorrect address or incorrect STB
contact, please do one of the following:

Send mail with your request or the corrected information to

		STB Editor 
		Mail Stop 2-312
		Sun Microsystems, Inc.
		2550 Garcia Avenue
		Mountain View, CA  94043

Send email with the request or corrected information to

		sun!fir or sun!stb-editor

Please send the complete replacement address and make sure you mention
you are correcting an STB entry (the data base is used for other types
of distribution).

The Field Information and Reports (FIR) group of Customer Service
Division will then gladly update the data base for you and correct the
STB delivery information.

FIR needs the following information for all requests:

	Name Position (salesman, tech support engineer, etc.)
	Office mailing address
	The item wanted (in this case -- specify STB)
