I finally got my source distribution and a have a few flames/questions.
In fall of 84 and spring of 85, at DECUS, I was told I'ld receive the
distribution around early November. That was considered a safe date by
the nervous digital spokesperson... Not even he thought that it would 
take longer than that. Well, here are the dates I see on my material:

	exec tape written:    08/27/85
	exec letter dated:    09/05/85
	mon letter dated:     09/05/85
	rsx20f letter written:09/05/85
	mon tape written:     09/20/85
	rsx20f pack written:  12/05/85
	received by shipping: 12/11/85
	expected delivery:    01/17/86
	received:             01/21/86

Am I missing something or did this process take an unreasonable amount
of time?? Am I to expect the same type of schedule for VAX/VMS software
as well?
