I'd certainly be interested in hearing your observations on 9.5.
We currently run a medium-sized publishing company on 7.2.  All
our software is homegrown, using DIBOL (oh, god...) and RMS.
We never upgraded to 8.x because of persistent rumors that
file handling in 8.x was much slower.  And pure inertia kept
us from upgrading to 9.x.  Of course, we miss out on any
DEC support (now THERE's an oxymoron) by sticking with 7.2,
and most off-the-shelf applications require at least 8.0.
So what's wrong with 9.5?

David
