Summary :
First apologies for (possibly) an inappropriate post to the group but the
only reply did give us the results.
Dirk Grunwald at the University of Colorado (grunwald_at_foobar.cs.colorado.edu)
informed us that ATOM is the current profiling tool supplied on the Alpha
base CD (OSF/1 V3.0). He also informed us of an ftp'able manual on pixie
located at anon-ftp on velox.stanford.edu:pub/pixie_doc, this in turn
referenced a Prof. Mike Smith at Harvard who filled in the gaps.
Many thanks to Dirk Grunwald and Mike Smith,
-Will
