yeah, NPRI has a flamingo clustered in with all the vaxes.  we keep all
of our CMS libraries on one of the vax disks and the reference-directories
are all under one tree on another vax disk, so i just mirrored all of
the [SRC...] directories from the reference disk onto the axp disk,
so we essentially have _two_ reference directories for each CMS library
(one on vax, one on axp).  guess i should mention that we always use
a command procedure i wrote to RESERVE and REPLACE elements, so it was
easy to add a COPY command after the CREATE and REPLACE commands.

it's worked pretty well.  so well, in fact, that i test-build on axp
before building on vax!  loooooove that DECC compiler!!

ok
