Thanks for the information.  I did call them and they did verify that not
all hardware running VMS 4.3 was evaluated and rated C2.  For example the 
micro VAX was not.  Each hardware type requires an evaluation.  It also only 
applies to VMS 4.3.  Not 4.3 and above as some DEC sales would like you to 
believe.  One needs the Evaluated Products List itself to understand the 
caveates.  Thus it is incorrect to say that VAX/VMS was added to the EPL.  The
correct statement would be that VAX/VMS version x.xx for the following VAX
computers xxxxxxx was added to the EPL.
