	The physics group that I am working for is searching for a 
computer to do numerically intensive data analysis. If anyone has
had experience porting fortran code from a VAX to a DECstation, we
would be interested in hearing about porting problems and performance
gains or losses. Also, if anyone has any information concerning the
SPEC ratings of the various DEC risc boxes and VAX boxes, we would
appreciate it if you could email us that information. Thanks in advance.
