The DWCTX requires VMS V5.5-2 to be useful and is not supported in a prior 
version.  This version of VMS will ship in the next few weeks, along with
the DWCTX.

Ah, a cynic.  Not true though.  We had originally intended to get the 
software support into V5.5-1 and didn't make it, thus we've had to 
wait until V5.5-2 to get the software "in there"  We also had some last 
minute changes to ensure that the implementation was the same on the 
Model 90 as well as the Model 60 (so you can use the same module)
