Hi Mike,

I have an update on TERMDSM.

Standalone version of TERMDSM is available for 7.0 via Beta patch
(TSMGD32A).
Hope this meets your needs. We are sorry for dropping this TERMDSM from 7.0
and for
the inconvenience in doing addl patch installation.

I also take the opportunity to explain the TERMDSM.  Based on the feedback
from
couple of customers and issues associated with the TERMDSM and CSTM
(diagnostics
tool), we have decided to de-couple TERMDSM from CSTM, hence, this
standalone
TERMDSM tool.

<off topic>
We were planning to do this as part of 7.0 Express 1, and unfortunately due
to the
ineffective communication/co-ordination between various labs and management,
it got removed
from CSTM on 7.0 base before the standalone version got submitted to 7.0.
<off topic/end>

regards
