  I haven't seen the 4.4 tape I ordered a few months ago (it hasn't arrived
yet), so I can't say if they actually gutted all of the VAX stuff (drivers,
etc.) or if it just doesn't compile any more. There are a bunch of us who
are very interested in 4.4 on VAXen.

  I'll post a note here when we get our tape and let you know how we're doing
getting it running. You may want to send me mail if you don't hear anything
in a month or two...
