- #Did anyone get the numbers for the VMS-Alpha AXP listings kit? Brian Breton
- #announced its availability at the DECUS Symposium last week, but I missed that
- #session.
- #
- #The VMS AXP listing kit is orderable and shipping *now* -- two copies of it
- #were on hand at the Symposium.
- #
- #Digital's effort to make this kit available so early in the VMS AXP product
- #cycle, along with other, related efforts (the internals "update express"
- #manuals, the internals manual itself, the new VMScluster internals manual
- #(preliminary edition was available at the DECUS store; final edition is due out
- #in Spring), the "file system internals" manual by Kirby McCoy, etc., etc.), is
- #just plain wonderful. Just you TRY to get source listings or internals
- #documentation out of Sun, or HP, or IBM, or Microsoft, or....

- #Yep. And the AXP listings will be invaluable for anyone who is porting code,
- #especially privileged code, to Alpha. At $2200, who in their right mind would
- #pass it up???

- The order numbers for the OpenVMS AXP v1.0 Source listings are
-
- QB-MT1AB-E8 OpenVMS AXP BAS SRC LST & CD
- QT-MT1AB-Q8 OpenVMS AXP BAS Src Upd CDROM
-
- I can personnally say they made our port to the Alpha *MUCH* easier that it
- would have been (esp. since the 1st ed of Ruth's VMS for Alpha Platforms
- Internals and Data Structures didn't have the chapter on memory management.)
