it. The above is my best guess. Also, don't ask me about ftp. If you
need to ask, you don't have it. Good luck. -mod]
Digital Equipment Corporation recently introduced the DECstation 3100,
along with several other significant products. This DECstation is the
first model in a family of RISC workstation running Digital's Ultrix
operating system.
Information is now available on the Internet on this product.
The following files are available via anonymous FTP from the node
gatekeeper.dec.com (128.45.9.52):
310596 ds3100_tech.ps
102711 ds3100_tech.ps.Z
536062 ds3100_perf.1a.ps
337888 ds3100_perf.1b.ps
781831 ds3100_perf.2.ps
135081 ds3100_perf.1a.ps.Z
93933 ds3100_perf.1b.ps.Z
207485 ds3100_perf.2.ps.Z
(The *.Z files are compacted using the compress(1) program
in Ultrix v3.0 and many other Unix systems. The compress
program uses using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding.)
The "ds3100_tech" files contain a postscript version of the
DECstation 3100 Technical Overview.
The three-part "ds3100_perf" files contains a postscript version of the
DECstation 3100 Performance Summary.
Since both of these contain significant graphics, no plaintext versions
are available.
If you cannot access the Internet, or don't have access to a PostScript
printer, ask a Digital Sales representative for a copy of the
documents. Please don't ask me for hardcopies or direct email of the
PostScript files.
(For the salesrep's information, the first document is titled
"DECstation 3100 Technical Overview", order #EZ-J4052-28, the second is
titled "DECstation 3100 Performance Summary" and does not have an order
number. Both were produced by Digital's Workstations Base Product
Marketing Group.)
Note: Neither of the above documents includes order numbers or
detailed pricing information.

Does it need saying that I'm not speaking as an official representative of DEC?
