There may be a change in the USENIX schedule, but since this
is preliminary, please DO NOT let this get around. I have trust in
your discretion.

The schedule you guys saw needs a change. DEC has asked that the
C Compiler for VAX/VMS not be mentioned explicitly because they may not be
ready to announce at that time. Someone who shall remain nameless suggested
that I purvey some good rumors instead. Ever one to cooperate with an
enlightened vendor, I herewith give an ENTIRE SUBSCHEDULE for the DEC
presentation:
Keynote Address - C. Gordon Bell
"Why the VAX will have only one operating system"
"Elegant Bit-map Raster Design"
GIGI Design Team
"Trouble-free Disk Technology"
RL-01 Design Team
"High Reliability Magnetic Tape"
TS-11 Design Team
"Advanced Small Computer Design"
PDP-8/S Design Team
"Device Interface Protocol"
TU-58 Design Team
"Communications Processors"
KMC-11 Design Team
"Using Communications Processors"
DMC-11 Design Team
"Physical Therapy for Communications Processors"
DMR-11 Design Team
"The Importance of a Standard Byte Size"
DECSystem-10/20 Design Team
"The Importance of a Standard Byte Ordering"
PDP-11/VAX Design Team
Closing Musical Number:
The Marketing Fast Shufflers
dancing to
"Keeping the Customer Satisfied", by
The Field Service Singers
Naturally, I trust you gentlement to keep this in the strictest
confidence. We wouldn't want any nasty rumors to go around, now would we?
