At DECUS I asked one of the DEC Documentation folks about the V5 doc set. She says it is about 1.5 - 2 linear feet longer than the V4.7 complete doc set. Larger, but certainly not "tripled" in size. I also asked that far more important question: "what color are the binders?" I said we were all very disappointed when they didn't change binder colors from V3 to V4 and I hoped they had addressed this problem. She says they have indeed. Some people complained about not being able to easily go for a V4 binder when you had both V3 and V4 on your shelves. New color is supposed to be sort of a grey (she pointed to a couch in the DECUS exhibit hall) with orange trim.
