Sorry if this sounds real naive, but I have not been following this group for a while. Can someone give me a short (<100 lines) discription of the DEC alpha workstations, including when they will be out, what their current level of performance is, operating systems (VMS vs OS1), compatibility with previous VAX and DECstation hardware, and if possible, whether or not these beasts should be able to run a previously compiled (under VMS) program and, if so, what difference in speed should be seen? Alternatively, point me to a source for this information. Second question: Are these workstations running AVS, and if so, how well? Please reply directly to me, since 1) I'm sure many of you don't want to hear all of this again, and 2) I don't always keep up with this newsgroup. Thanks.
