[HECnet] DECnet/E programming manual / examples

[Wilm Boerhout]

This is excellent news! There is no great rush on my part, just one of the
projects on my list. I'm looking forward to the scans!

Thanks,

Wilm

   We have an original hardcopy of this manual at the museum.  I should be
able to get it scanned soon.  Until then, I will take the manuals home (I'm
at the museum now) and can look things up for people or photograph short
sections as needed.
