#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???  
#

The order numbers for the OpenVMS AXP v1.0 Source listings are

	QB-MT1AB-E8 OpenVMS AXP BAS SRC LST & CD
	QT-MT1AB-Q8 OpenVMS AXP BAS Src Upd CDROM

I can personnally say they made our port to the Alpha *MUCH* easier that it
would have been (esp. since the 1st ed of Ruth's VMS for Alpha Platforms
Internals and Data Structures didn't have the chapter on memory management.)
