Dear Net,

would like to get at the serial number (not the CPU Type) of my
DEC machine (DECStation or uVax) from a C-Program.

Is there a way to do this ? Surely DEC has some register or some number
in EPROM to get this. Note it does not have be a number: an ASCII
string etc. would do.

Sorry if this been asked before or if its a stupid questions or I'm too
f. lazy to read the f. manual, but I am asking for a friend without a net
access.

Please reply by e-mail only.

Thanks,
Love,
Snoopy
