Apologies for that. It would appear that the OpenVMS stuff applies to
verison 6 (Docs are dates May 1993) while the gray wall language stuff
looks to be VAX 5.0 and higher. That said, I didn't open every item on
the shelf... interestingly enough, there is a AA-PV6YA-TK booklet
entitled "Overview of OpenVMS Documentation". A short review seems to
indicate the docs here include the Base Documentation Kit, and
portions or perhaps all of the the Master Reference Kit,
the Advanced System Management Kit, the Networking Kit, the Release
Notes Kit and the Programming Kit.

This stuff really isn't my day job. I'm just hoping to find this stuff
a better home than the dumpster.
