Subj:	new Alpha info: source, binaries and docs for 21064 assembler

Here is an updated version of /pub/DEC/Alpha/README.  This info can be copied
from gatekeeper.dec.com, crl.dec.com and decuac.dec.com via anonymous ftp.


/pub/DEC/Alpha

This directory contains documents and presentations about Digital's new
processor architecture, known as Alpha.  More documents will be made available
here over time.

New 6/ 7/92: assembler subdirectory with source, documentation and binaries
		for an assembler for the 21064. 

The files here are:

	how to interface to the chip.
application_note_v1_0.ps.Z - Compressed version of application_note_v1_0.ps
compcon.ps - Witek and Sites' Compcon presentation.
	(NOTE: do not use the UWS 4.0 dxpsview with this document.  it
