If this is true (the "appears" alleviates the scare somewhat), then I
think DEC is making a Big Mistake.  I like DEC equipment partly because
I have these little manuals I can flip through.  It's hard to have too
much documentation [though VMS perhaps succeeds here :-)].  The best
argument I can give for my opinion is "if we don't know enough about it,
we aren't going to buy it".

Are you listening, DEC?
