[Apunte de redactor: Tradusco esta página linea por linea, presentandoles con el resultado aúnque está todavía en trámite. Cuando este apunte se encuentrará al fin de la página, esa misma será completa. Mientras, me agradecería si me envíen comentarios, aun hasta corregir mi español.

If you have any interest in the subject matter of this web page, please e-mail me now. Your e-mail, no matter how brief, is the only way I have of knowing how much interest there is in the continuation of this effort. My ISP does not offer web statistics on individual accounts. You may also go to the Revision History page and register it with URL-minder to receive automatic e-mail notification of significant changes to these pages. I do not receive details from URL-Minder, so please do both.

If you currently work with a Wang VS or if you work for Wang, please take a moment to get in touch with me. There may be as many as 20,000 VS systems still in operation, but there are few or no channels for the people concerned to network with each other. As far as I know, this is the only place.

If you have news or questions, rumors or tips, on or off the record, drop me a line. Sources will not be identified unless a contributor explicitly requests credit (this is a change in policy as of 951012).

These pages are intentionally light on graphics and heavy on information content, for efficient viewing.
