EG Before you go too far, you need to distinguish between SOURCE and LISTINGS. Actually, to really confuse things, Digital refers to the listings as the SOURCE LISTINGS, so when you ask about "source," you're really getting listings. Getting listings is easy. Since you're in the UK, the price will vary. You should call your local office. They can either sell you a single CD (or Microfiche, I think) or add it to your maintenance contract. Either way, it's not too expensive---couple of hundred dollars. They are usually not too behind VMS. I think that the 5.5 listings are available, but I'm pretty sure that the 5.5-1 listings are not. SOURCE, on the other hand, is extremely difficult and expensive (about $25k in the US). If I were you, I'd give it up. It took me three years to get Digital to cough up a source kit for VMS (although they did send 5.4). I have been told by the product manager that there will probably never be a SOURCE kit done after 5.4. jms Joel M Snyder, 1103 E Spring Street, Tucson, AZ, 85719 Phone: 602.882.4094 (voice) .4095 (FAX) .4093 (data) BITNET: jms@Arizona Internet: jms@arizona.edu SPAN: 47541::telcom::jms Yow!
