I also spoke to VentureCom several months ago. He claimed their Pro was
broken (and had been for some years) so they couldn't tset the software
they did have. As a result, they were unwilling to sell it to me. Maybe
that has changed.

He also told me since the software is SOOO old, the company will ignore
any copyright violations. That is, if you can find it, go ahead and copy
it. Actually, the local representative of DEC told me the same thing about
the Pro 350 manuals. It's too bad DECUS hasn't gotten Venix. Maybe 
someone there could chat with VentureCom. Being a UNIX user, it would be 
very handy :)
