- I noted the ad in DEC Professional by TGV about MultiNet being Alpha-ready.
- Excellent job guys. Bruce Miller is quoted as saying that the changes to the
- code could fit on one printout page. Now, I wouldn't want you folks to give
- away any trade secrets, but is there any chance you could put together a
- document/presentation/summary of what it took to port your stuff to alpha and
- what coding techniques you used to avoid needing massive changes? After all,
- the DEC engineers claim that 90% would need no changes and you seem to have
- bettered that tremendously. Are you planning a Symposium session on this,
- perhaps? A white paper maybe?
-
- We expect to be going to Alpha middle of next year and I'd sure like to be able
- to benefit from your experiences! That is unless I get the job as the unix
- administrator for our new rs/6000 and HP boxes and stop dealing with VMS :-).

- So, how many hospitals HAVE been built by organizations of secular
- humanists and atheists, anyway?
