Recently a letter was mailed to all DECUS members to update everyone on the
status of the DEC software license transfer issue.  It contained a letter from
C.W.Goldsmith, DECUS President, a response from Digital, and a postcard.
In order to poll the user community in a meaningful manner, users are asked
to respond to the two questions on the postcard (postage paid) as quickly
as possible.  The brief questionnaire is intended to provide DECUS (and DEC)
with an indication of our level of acceptance of the announced policy.
This is the only means available for polling the users since the policy is to
begin on March 1st, which is prior to the next scheduled symposium.

I urge you to respond right away so that we will have an opportunity to
tabulate the responses and take appropriate action.  Please share this
message with other DECUS members at your site so that they will respond
also.  This issue is important to all of us.
