1)  4.5 for all VAXen is out. It is a set of patches to 4.4.
2)  This does not mean it "VMS is VMS", just that the product checks what
    kind of VAX you're on before applying patches.
3)  Gee, that WOULD be nice, wouldn't it.


    1)  That may be.
    2)  Real VMS also doesn't have object libraries for VAX C.
    3)  While some of the help libraries (RTL, ANALYZE, for example)
        are missing or deficient, the LEXICALS help library is far
	superior to that on real VMS.
    4)  The SYSALF is indeed set up for uVMS, but can easily be deleted.

    5)  There are other, critical differences: e.g., UVMTHRTL instead of
	MTHRTL as an installed image, different VMSIMAGES, etc.
