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.
