I have receive several messages concerning the why's of Release Notes
on media instead of hard copy.  Even though I've understood that
having the latest information is the greatest, but this does open
the doors for Digital to push out products faster than they have
to fully test/document products.  We all remember when VMS 4.0 first
came out...

Don't get me wrong for I do enjoy new software functionality but still
rather read hardcopy than take the effort in reading fast loading
RX01's (,tapes or whatever) and fast laser speed of our Printronix 300
printer.

I guess the problem is how can Digital crank out s/w products to keep up
with demand and keeping release costs down, without sacrifcing quality.

I still prefer hardcopy over listings (I have enough listings on my desk).
