There have been several updates on the VAX/L&T SIG Tapes for VMS TeX 
including a BIG TeX port.  I haven't put out an update to the last DECUS TeX 
Collection  since I haven't seen an major updates come out for TeX/LaTeX or 
such.  Most of the minor updates have been on the L&T portion of the SIG tapes 
(TeX, LaTeX, and a DVIPS update).

Also, a couple of times I have looked at porting WEB-to-C to VMS and I have 
found that it is non-trival.  Therefore, I have not had the time to do such.  
If anyone has ported WEB-to-C to VMS, I would be very interested.

Also, the Latest version of the DECUS TeX Collection been available from 
wuarchive.wustl.edu and from DECUS LUGs.
