Since I mentioned it a few people have written to ask for the DEC order
number for _VAXcluster Principles_.  Here's the info from the E-store:

AUTHOR: Roy G. Davis
TITLE: VAXcluster Principles
PUBLICATION DATE: 5/93
COPYRIGHT DATE: 1993
ORDER NUMBER: EY-M740E-DP
COVER: softbound
TRIM SIZE: 7 x 9"
PAGES: Approximately 600
ILLUSTRATIONS/TABLES: Yes, approximately 100
PREFACE: Yes
INDEX: Yes

The blurb on the e-store says

    The presentation provides what is essentially
    a "VAXcluster Internals, Data Structures, and Configuration
    Guide." 

I have the preliminary edition that was available at Fall '92 DECUS, and I
agree.  It doesn't *quite* tell you, step by step, how to write a SYSAP. But it
certainly provides information that is essential if you want to write one. 

If you need _VMS Internals and Data Structures_ then by definition
you need this volume sitting next to it. 

fyi, my order is showing a ship date of June 14.  

The other recent offering you probably are interested in is Volume 3 of 
_VMS for Alpha Platforms Internals and Data Structures, Preliminary Edition_.
EY-L466E-P3.  Presumably volumes 1 and 2 are -P1 and -P2.  My order for -P3
is showing a ship date of June 14; -P1 and -P2 are available now.
