Does this mean Ultrix is now getting as much funding as VMS is
currently getting?  Doesn't VMS have a head start, and things aren't

DEC Local recently brought in a VMS RA60 pack to be able to run
diagnostics on our 8700.  Are you sure ALL VAX diagnostics exist under
Ultrix?  i.e. can an Ultrix site run without ever hearing anything
about VMS?
