    A brief comment from me on memory requirements.
    
    Database Advisor uses next to no memory, but VAX Document does use
    a fair bit.
    
    I did two versions of this demo: V1.0 and V1.1. Andrew has hosted
    the V1.1 version, which requires VAX Document on the w/s. If this
    is impossible to setup, one can use V1.0, which uses a remote
    DECnet process to do the document processing work.
    
    Alternate locations are:-
    
       V1.1	mallet""::aicu_demo$public:[db_adv]
       V1.0	mallet""::aicu_demo$public:[db_adv010]
    
    V1.1 also has some Blue Peter style documents all ready produced
    in case Document cannot be had.
    
    It would be nice to do a more upto date version of this for DECwidows,
    but money is needed.
    
    regards,
    Malcolm
