Does anyone know what the name of this old VMS documentation is? I'd like to have a search for it so I could see if I can find a copy. Specially if it's 5 feet of old technical docs, I collect this type of thing.

Generally speaking, "ProductName Version documentation set", where ProductName is one of "VAX/VMS", "VMS", or "OpenVMS", broken up into a variety of sets, subsets, and volumes. Taking VMS V5.5 as an example, for the complete set, you want the "Extended Set (with Base Set)", order number QA-001AA-GZ.5.5[1]. If I'm counting correctly, this set consists of 143 titles, which is probably closer to 25 feet than 5. Even if you go back as far as V1.5, the complete set still included around 50 titles[2] — I can't find a list for V1.0 — and unlike the V5.5 set, this one wasn't available on CD-ROM.
