	The standard line is that the 785 is "bug for bug compatible" with the 780;
	there should be no differences in operation unless you're into real-time
	 DEC tells me the performance increase is about 35%; I didn't
	think it was worth $75K bucks for that small an increase, so I made my
	users speed up their software by 300% instead.
