As stated, I know the Symposium Tapes (except for the one I really
want!) are usually available.  I am interested in the stuff that was
listed as products "available from DECUS" in the PDP_11 and VAX
Software Sourcebooks.  Did all the stuff held  by DECUS end up in the
trash with the only survivors being stuff individuals kept copies of?
We're talking hundreds of interesting packages.  Is all of that lost
like all the other commercial stuff?
