Larry Campbell first mentions the exception handling facility that
he has been working on, and then says:

DEC SRC will provide these reports for the asking (at least they
did two years ago when I requested and received Leslie Lamport's
excellent paper on a fast mutual exclusion algorithm)

The address I last used was:

	Report Distribution Desk
	DEC/SRC Reading Room, Mailstop UCT
	130 Lytton Avenue
	Palo Alto, CA  94301  USA

A big fat sloppy thank you to Digital for providing this very
nice service.  Thanks too to Larry for posting the abstract.
