3 things come to my mind:

*) So, this a demo kit. Why is it included with vanilla OpenVMS then?
*) When it is no longer supported, then it must have been supported
previously. Right?
*) Shame on me, that I run 8.4 for 30 months now, and still haven't
seen this in the release notes.

Thanks again Hoff
