Hello Stephen,
	I managed to boot the DECStation guilder. There was a 
	wedge at the console level. I cleared it with the 'init' 
	command and reset the boot parameters to boot the internal
	rz23. 

	GUILDER is up and running.

	It is at version 7.6c when the current version is 7.6g. track
	compares the system files with what it should be. There are
	many customizations. 

	I don't see any hardware errors in the status log and 
	self tests also are clear. I suspect software. 

	Options;
		1. set AUTOUPDATE to true to go to 7.6g

		2. backup the internal disk and let me format
	           and reload software onto the internal disk. 

		3. Live with the crashes (bogus option).

	Please send mail to hotline@athena with what you would like us to
	do at this point.

	John Chase

	PS
	Matilda says she needs help using her Mac (franc) to access
	the DECStation. The DECStation is not recognised in her choiser.
	She asked me to tell you this.
