In addition to a full set of the VMS PDF documentation and various
hardware/architecture related PDFs, I also have most of the printed
books including the earlier Alpha I&DS.

I do not have access to the VMS source code and since there's
no legal way for me to get access to the source code without
paying a licence fee, I do not want access to the VMS source code.

Every piece of documentation I do have (both electronic and printed)
is fully understandable to me when I read the material.

Simon.
