Which reminds me that clarifying the status of the docs already
floating around on the NetBSD sites might also be an issue. But one
thing at a time...

Usually it's PS, sometimes in a strange manner - I've seen Ghostscript
sometimes throwing up on the larger ones. This usually means that the
documents arent 100% conforming the standards.

Uhmmm - too much honor done to me. Since I'm a lousy programmer and my
knowledge ist mainly on PASCAL and FORTRAN this is the best I can
do. Kudos should go to Toru-san since I (mainly) only forwarded his
compiled list.

Yup. Hopefully we can remember of DEC in a positive manner the next
time we're asked by our bosses what hardware should be obtained...
