I'm guessing you're after the VAX Hobbyist CD.
I personally think it's
better than the Alpha one (what can I say I'm interested in BASIC not what
they substituted for it on the Alpha CD). One thing you'll still want to
keep your eye out for is a Software Product Library set on CD-ROMs. They show
up on eBay from time to time and can fetch anywhere from $9.99 to about
$200.00.

Just for fun I figured I'd give Compaq a call (1-800-DIGITAL still
works!) and get pricing information on the latest VAX OpenVMS software
releases. Just the VAX OpenVMS 7.2-1 software and online documentation
kit (something like 10 CDs, order number QA-XULAA-H8) is $314.00.
I imagine the current ConDist is proportionally expensive. Ouch.
I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for one on eBay, or for free,
or something else.
