Sorry for this somewhat off topic message, but I've seen that from time to time some chit-chat is allowed... I've always wondered about VMS sources: how they are actually distributed today and how much space they take? Is a CD-ROM enough for everything? And in which format are they? Just simple text files in a bunch of directories or there is something fancier such as some cross references and indexes? But the main question is: where can they be obtained? Is HP still selling them and how much they would cost? A figure with too many zeroes, right? :/ Thanks, :) G.
