A detailed table of contents and index are included. The book is available in either Digital Standard Runoff out- put format suitable for printing on a line printer, or in PostScript form suitable for printing on an Apple Laser- Writer or other 300 DPI PostScript printer. I am also making the raw .RNO files (and the code used to convert the guide into TeX) available for those of you who are interested in customizing the "VAX Book" for your own site. _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s To get a free PostScript copy of the "VAX Book" via anonymous FTP, try: $ FTP DECOY.UOREGON.EDU (DECOY.UOREGON.EDU=128.223.32.19) Name: anonymous Login as "anonymous."
