HELP!!!
     We are getting ready to buy a MicroVAX for our research Lab.  The
question is: which operating system should we get for this.  DEC is 
offering two operating systems for the microVAX. There is the microVMS
system from mother DEC, and there is the "new" Ultrix system which is 
supposed to be compatible with UNiX.   The computer is going to be used
mainly for number crunching, but some text processing and graphics 
would be helpful.  As I understand, there seems to be some speed 
difference between the two systems.  Can anyone out there confirm this?
Please direct all the replies to

Thanks.
