Prang has died the big death. Since it belongs to DEC (it's a seed machine)
and DEC is currently waffling on whether or not they will provide support
for our seed units, its fate is up in the air.. However, all is not lost.
I made a backup of the sources just before it died for the last time, so the
contents are safe. We've just gotten back a Q5 configuration microvax (much
bigger with more disk) that was on loan, and I am getting it allocated to
my group to fill prang's shoes. Public access to the machine will be lost
(for those that came to make tapes), but we'll gain an RA81 drive, more
memory and some speed. I'll keep you posted on the details.
