    I don't know anything about the document you are referencing but the
    Installed Base Marketing Group has a MS-DOS based "Cost Of Operation"
    tool that contains VAX, MIPS and Alpha Cost of Ownership information.
    
    The contact is Dave Gitner, DTN 223-5836

4039.2COO ConfiguratorANGLIN::BJAMESI feel the need, the need for SPEEDFri Aug 11 1995 17:5013
    There is a COE software program that we produce which allow you to
    compare systems, like replacing an older VAX system with a new
    Alphaserver.
    
    It is called Digital's Cost of Operation Configurator.  It runs on any
    Windows based PC and the author of it is Fred Bals and is noted as
    version 2.0
    
    I'm sure it can be copied, so if you send me your address I'll make you
    a copy and send it to you.

    Thanks.  Just placed my order via VTX LOS.  I need the LOS version to
    evaluate for our Business Partners.  They need access and via the enet,
    in this case, is NOT acceptable.  I need for them to be able to order
    it if they like it.

4039.7EC-N0079-78/91?MBALDY::LANGSTONour middle name is 'Equipment'Mon Aug 14 1995 11:504
She said that what she has is part number EC-N0079-78/91.  I can't find anything
even remotely like that on VTX LOS.  Is that likely?

Thanks for the info.
4039.8Gitner will help youSUBSYS::MCCULLERWed Aug 16 1995 08:097
    Give Dave a call and he will square you away on any copies you need for
    this tool. Kam: as an aside, Dave and I are working to merge the storage
    COO tool (V1.1B) and the latest VAX System COO into a consolidated tool
    that will let you specify systems with onboard storage deveices, no
    storage devices, or calculate storage COO without appended systems.
