[Info-vax] HW_NAME and HW_TYPE

I have a product that changes these values (and others, like SID).
It's described at:

http://www.stanq.com/sid-change.html

For VAX, you can change the model number, and the product will display
the name from a table that's in VMS.  On Alpha and Itanium, you can
set the string to anything you like, since there's no table.

I had this developed for emulated systems that need to "look" like an
"original" system.  [Shameless Plug Alert (tm) -- I am an emulated
system provider.]

A life-limited license is available to members of the VMS Hobbyist
program.
