Is there more recent advice on this?
For example will VB 4.0/5.0 run straight out of the box on an AXP WNT
system?

VB5.0 has a native version for Alpha. Other x86 binaries can (for the
most part) be run on Alpha using FX!32. (For what it's worth, this is
true for the few AXP systems that are left around as well.)
Go to www.service.digital.com/fx32 for information on FX!32.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that web site.

I'd like to know what you think the difference between an Alpha and an AXP is.

All I was saying is that AXP was dropped as a marketing term. I use
an AXP 150. But everything we sell nowadays is Alphaxxxxxx.

It might have been dropped in the USA but it is still in use in
Germany.

It should not be in use by Digital. Alpha is the word. AXP is
the past.

I don't think so... (apart from misuse of the term, which isn't limited
to Germany).
It's still a trademark though.

I should have said in retail outlets. Which is what counts if you're
a normal punter trying to buy something. It's no good changing names
and then expecting Fred Bloggs, your average man in the street to know.
But we seem to have gone through this before with DEC and Digital and I
still don't know which to officially use, and officially speaking maybe
the conference name should be changed to NTALPHA.

| I don't see too many Alphas in retail outlets in Germany... apart maybe
from Vobis, but I don't think they call them AXPs.

Vobis in Konstanz are shifting a pile of AXPs, maybe they're old stock.

Must be... real old, they had a few AXP's years ago (rebadged Jensens
if memory serves)... the new ones definitely aren't called AXP in any of
their materials I have seen. (See the April "Denkzettel" - it's an
"HS Alpha 5000").
