            The 326-page "VAX Book" attempts to answer most of the ques-
            tions  that  University of Oregon users have had about using
            VMS, EDT, the networks, statistics  and  graphics  packages,
            etc.   Most  of  the  concepts  presented are illustrated by
            means of annotated examples. 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.
