Cheezy Beets!  I bought the VMS Internals for v4.4 a little over a year ago
and it was just $75 (just! ha!).  There was another copy at Madison Books
and Computers in Huntsville; maybe it is still there (maybe they will ship
to Oz).

The Unix books are *much* better; you must know a fair amount about VMS
before the book will make any sense whatsoever.  Save your money...
