There was no such machine as a vax. Even today, the beast you're talking about is generally referred to as a PMMU. Of course back then even a non-P MMU was considered an option rather than a necessity even for machines like the PDP-11. -- -- `-_-' Peter (have you hugged your wolf today?) da Silva. -- U Mail to ...!uunet!sugar!peter, flames to /dev/null. -- "A foolish consistancy is the hobgoblin of little minds".
