And once again you try to steer away from the discussion when it is
obvious that things were not as rosy for VMS as for other OSes, even
in DEC's own camp.

We were talking about Software Sourcebooks.  They wre Paperback sized
listings of applications (Remember applications?  It's what really
sells systems!)  And, once again someone tried to claim that VMS had
the most when in fact, it really appears that VARS started leaving the
DEC Camp about the time the PDP-11 fell out of favor.

Hmmm...  Another project for a rainy day once I get the chance to unpack
all my stuff again.  A number of the packages in the PDP-11 Sourcebook
have a comment saying "also available on VAX".  While this does not
necessarily mean "on VMS" it would be interesting to make a list of
all of these and compare it to the VAX Sourcebook to see how many of
them dropped the VAX version at the same time they dropped the PDP-11
version.
