I wasn't aware of this doc or this site. Thanks.

Just glancing at the doc, I find lots of things to question, but won't 
do so, at least not now.

They're quoting Larry Loucks, while attributing the VRM to him and me, 
which was revisionist at the time vs. all the others deserving of that 
attribution. I'm surprised I was referenced at all in a 1989 publication 
-- I was mostly purged from AIX literature in process after I left for 
Dell 5/2/89. Also ironic that they emphasized Larry. He deserved the 
credit, but had been coerced to leave AIX to work on OS/2.
