   Mentec owns RSX and RSX support questions, not DIGITAL...

   DIGITAL is a distributor of the Mentec RSX package.

   In other words, if the information available in that statement proves
   insufficient for your customer's needs, please contact Mentec support
   for assistance.

   For some background on Year 2000 issues in RSX, see UNIFIX::RSX_SUPPORT
   notes 2201.*, 2273.*, 2276.*, 2283.*, and 2295.*.  (But again, it should
   be stressed that DIGITAL is not particularly involved in answering this
   question or in any problems found, as all RSX support was transfered
   to Mentec quite some time ago.)

   For information on the transfer of RSX to Mentec, see note 2243.* in
   the UNIFIX::RSX_SUPPORT conference.

   If you're not sure of the location of a notes conference, you can
