If by "specs" you mean Ada specification of the package, that would
be in ADA$PREDEFINED:STARLET_.ADC on a system with DEC Ada installed.
Perhaps ACT is working a deal for distribution rights, in which case
I hope they have better luck than the DEC Ada team has had at keeping
current with the latest additions to VMS.

Given the task you describe, however, I fear what you are looking
for is "what does it mean", and the specifications for that are
spread throughout the VMS documentation set (or on CD-ROM).  I
would love to point to the new DEC color coding of which books are
for "programmers", but I find myself in violent diagreement with
a couple of their designations.
