Did anyone get the numbers for the VMS-Alpha AXP listings kit?  Brian Breton
announced its availability at the DECUS Symposium last week, but I missed that
session.  

The VMS AXP listing kit is orderable and shipping *now* -- two copies of it
were on hand at the Symposium.  

Digital's effort to make this kit available so early in the VMS AXP product
cycle, along with other, related efforts (the internals "update express"
manuals, the internals manual itself, the new VMScluster internals manual
(preliminary edition was available at the DECUS store; final edition is due out
in Spring), the "file system internals" manual by Kirby McCoy, etc., etc.), is
just plain wonderful.  Just you TRY to get source listings or internals 
documentation out of Sun, or HP, or IBM, or Microsoft, or....

Yep.  And the AXP listings will be invaluable for anyone who is porting code,
especially privileged code, to Alpha.  At $2200, who in their right mind would
pass it up???
