    Here are the part numbers you requested:
    
    VMS DW XLIB ROUTINES REF MAN, Part 1  =  AA-MG26A-TE
    VMS DW XLIB ROUTINES REF MAN, Part 2  =  AA-MG27A-TE

    You may want to consider ordering the VMS DECW PROGRAMMING KIT which
    is the complete set of manuals with binders.  It includes the two you
    asked about and the order number is  QA-001AM-GZ.

542.2Bookreader LibraryTHAM02::TRINThu Apr 06 1989 01:4126
    There is (or may be was) an Bookreader readable DECwindows library 
    available on VMSKIT. However, I believe VMSKIT might not be accessible
    now. You should be able to find other distribution node in your area.
    You would also need 34,000 blocks to hold the complete library (VMS
    5.1, DECwindows User and Programmer Documentation Set) or 3,500 blocks 
    for just the two XLIB routines reference manuals.

542.3You'll be glad you didSTAR::ROBERTThu Apr 06 1989 09:2115
We STRONGLY, (let me emphasize that) *** STRONGLY *** recommend that
as many sites as possible try and get a CD reader.  The old drives
are available now dirt cheap, but may be discontinued shortly; they
have nearly the same performance of the new ones, which will have
significantly higher internal transfer costs.

The wide-area-network as the mass-distribution vehicle is rapidly
breaking down because software/doc sizes are growing much faster
than our internal bandwidth is growing, and because of security.

If you've a empty q-bus slot and can find $300 in your budget
get a reader and get on the Online ADS and ConDist ADS.
