The intervening authors comments were uneducated (and irresponsible, but that
is another matter).

There are two entities. The VMS Listings CD which replaces the Microfiche that
you may have received in the past. It has a DEC part number of QB-001A9-U8. It
is the listings i.e. the results of the macro/list bliss/list etc builds of
VMS. I am not sure of local price, but I would think in the order of 2-3 K$

Then you have the Sources CDrom. This  contains Compilable, linkable code, and
costs in the order of $20-30K dollars. I don't have the part number handy, but
I did send it to Bob Wright at Curtin.

I am fairly sure that Proprietary components are removed from both i.e. LAT
code, LMF Checksum routines etc. (I hope).
