Subject:Re: What is DEC Alpha? From:William Meisheid <wgm -at- SAGELINE -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 10 Sep 1998 18:21:24 -0400
>Can anyone point me in the direction of some information that
explains
what DEC Alpha is?
A DEC Alpha is a computer built around DEC's Alpha Chip which runs one
of three operating systems: DEC Ultrix (a 64 bit UNIX), VMS, or
Windows NT. NT applications for Alpha are compiled specifically for
that platform.
I would think that how you document would be influenced more by the
operating system than the chip.
I hope that helps.
