Completely On-Topic RT-11 DOCs (Massively Off-topic Re: possible dec equipment)

That's really all you need to know :^) Well how is this, my RT-11 doc set (V5.4 I believe) takes almost one shelf, and that's with three ring binders. For OpenVMS V6.0 through V7.3 it takes almost two shelves for the *complete* doc set (a base doc set takes about half a shelf). OTOH, the whole OpenVMS Doc Set is available on a CD, and that's the format I like these days. My question is how much dead space does a Grey Wall (V5) really take up, and how much of the Grey Walls that most people have seen are the OpenVMS Doc set, and how much is layered products? BTW, for the Grey Wall, the base doc set is 6 paperbacks that take up very little space, and I still keep them around as they're a lot of good info in a small amount of space. I don't even think I want to know how much space I have being taken up by VAX/VMS V4 through OpenVMS V7.3 doc's! I am convinced that more than half of the space that my DEC collection takes up is documentation. Zane -- -- | Zane H.
