207.0. "GOSUBs and ? with 4.4" by NERMAL::RINESMITH (This space for rent!) Thu Feb 20 1986 15:54

    	I haven't heard much about the changes that have come with
    VMS version Y4.4 even though it was just installed on the cluster
    here.   About the only changes that I know of are the changes to
    DCL that allow GOSUBs and such.   Is there a conference dedicated
    to what's new with each version, and why the "Y" instead of V4.4?

        A recent topic in VMSNOTES (conference on ISTARI/VAXWRK)
        pointed to a directory of some V4.4 info (mostly "slides").
        
        I'd guess the "Y" means some level of field-test.  It'll
        say "V4.4" when it comes from SDC.

    RE: version numbers
    
    The "Y" has no special meaning other than to designate to VMS
    people the field test update version of V4.4.   The SDC kit will
    be called V4.4 -- coming soon to a theater near you.
    
    RE: new features
    
    I believe the doc set is available on-line.  I think there is a
    pointer to the public location in BULOVA::SYS$KITS:[VMS044].   Did
    you look at the release notes?  They usually say something about
    new features.
