If you have a CDROM reader, DEC has a nifty 90 day free trial under way.

It started just with folks that attended DECworld, but now has been extended
to anyone. You will get a CDROM with ALL the demo'able S/W, and 90 day PAKs
for the 5 you select (you may succeed in asking for a few more...). Note well
that they list VAXSET, but then list all 6 products it includes!, so don't
pick them individually, pick VAXSET (for CMS,MMS,LSE,PCA,SCA,DTM) as one of 
your 5 selections. DECwrite is on the list (hence this note), also such things
as: ADA, Cobol, C, LISP, VAXcluster S/W, VAXnotes, CDA Convert lib, and many
more! 

Also DEC sends another CDROM with EDServices DEClearn CDROM online courseware
and a PAK to let you try some of it. (you can PAY to have more students 
learn more, of course). On the general issue of how many more than 5 I might
be allowed to select for a demo, I was told someone else in our company could
sign up seperately (from a different site).

DEC also now has an ENET cdrom server for VAXen without readers. The demo
folks can fax you data on it, too.

Call DEC at 800 343 4040. Ask about the DECworld trial. I spoke to John DeRoche
