Is there a change going from VMS to Tru64? I thought both used the same
firmware. Ther ARE changes when going from either VMS or Tru to / from
Windoz.

        It had become an universal and almost uncontroverted position in
        the several States, that the purposes of society do not require
        a surrender of all our rights to our ordinary governors; that
        there are certain portions of right not necessary to enable them
        to carry on an effective government, and which experience has
        nevertheless proved they will be constantly encroaching on, if
        submitted to them; that there are also certain fences which
        experience has proved peculiarly efficacious against wrong, and
        rarely obstructive of right, which yet the governing powers have
        ever shown a disposition to weaken and remove. Of the first
        kind, for instance, is freedom of religion; of the second, trial
        by jury, habeas corpus laws, free presses. -- Thomas Jefferson
