In addition to everything mentioned by everyone else, you might want to take into account the type of "report" that you saw. If it's more a document type report than a line printer listing report, you might have a diskette from a DEC WPS-8 word processing system.

You'll get better answers if you're more explicit with your references. Paul took at guess at what you meant. I'm going to make a different guess. I'm guessing that the two books are: - "Leonard book" - VAX Architecture Manual, first edition, edited by Timothy Leonard and published by Digital
