this is the README file from /pub/DEC/Alpha, to be found on gatekeeper.dec.com,
crl.dec.com and soon to be found on decuac.dec.com.  these files can be either
copied via anonymous ftp or, if you don't have ftp access to any of these
machines, via ftpmail@pa.dec.com.  for instructions on the use of ftpmail,
send mail to ftpmail@pa.dec.com with help as the body of the message.

as more documents are made available, they will be placed in this directory
and you will be notified in this newsgroup.

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

The files here are:

compcon.ps - Witek and Sites' Compcon presentation. 
	(NOTE: do not use the UWS 4.0 dxpsview with this document.  it
	catches a severe bug that is fixed in the 4.2 version.  also
	ignore the PostScript comment warning.)
compcon.ps.Z - compressed version of compcon.ps.
infosheet.ps - a brief overview of the architecture and the first chip
	implementation, the 21064 (PostScript).

	Contains the most technical information of the currently available
	documents in this directory.
product_brief.ps.Z - compressed version of product_brief.ps.
technical-summary.txt - A brief summary of the Alpha architecture by the
	architects.  Posted to comp.arch et al. on 25 February 1992.

To learn more about pricing and availability of the 21064
microprocessor in its 150 MHz or faster clock rate versions, contact
your local Digital sales representative. Or, in the United States,
