The New York State College of Optometry again in Manhattan is still using an entire DEC based solution for their work. I certainly hope they hired the right hobbyist to maintain their gear....... I think my alma mater (Royal Holloway, Uni. of London) still uses a couple of AlphaServers for their student registration at the beginning of each year and some more VMS boxes for print servers for the on-campus labs. I actually managed to borrow some VMS install media from the admin guys, they were more than happy to help a hobbyist out :) I've mentioned this to one or two folks here privately, but now that it has come up...My mother is a journalist with Associated Press, and she recently took a new assignment in a different city. Their office has a VAX-4000 running VMS, handling some sort of database. They love it, and they have no plans to migrate away from it. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA Hello!
