DATE          DESCRIPTION.


CP_NOTE     - ACF/NCP Version 7 Release 8 Support, 
07-01-2000    Our current SHIP25 Mod 2 release now includes support for NCP 
              V7R8 and PEP (NCP V7R8 with EP R14) environments. SSP V4R8 is 
              required for NCP V7R8. 

              Note that you will generally require a distribution tape with 
              a TCD (tape creation date) of 07-01-2000 or later for this 
              support. Customers with recent (mid to late 1999) product 
              distributions may qualify for our simple macro update pack 
              instead of a CUME refresh or upgrade. Please contact Comm-Pro 
              for details.

            - SSP Version 4, Release 8 support for OS/390, MVS/ESA, VM/ESA 
              and VSE/ESA, SSP V4R8 products are required for load module 
              generation and utility functions for ACF/NCP V7R7, V7R8 and EP 
              R1V14 support. Note that this product is downward compatible 
              with earlier NCP and EP distributions still supported by IBM. 
              Both SSP V4R8 and V4R7 require that the High Level Assembler
              be installed at you location. 

            - EP Version 1 Release 14 Standalone product support is currently
              on hold.
