Convert DS20 from Tru64 to VMS

Try the comp.os.vms newsgroup.

If you haven't Usenet access then this also has an alternative mail list

info-vax at mvb.saic.com

listserv address :-

info_vax_request at mvb.saic.com

I always use the newsgroup since the volume on the mailing list is fairly high
hence I cannot swear the mailing list addresses are current but think they are.
