SUMMARY: how does one by Digital's layered products CD?

Well, I've *partially* answered my own question. In the SPD
for Fortran v4.1 (SPD 37.54.08) it says ...

  Media and documentation for Digital Fortran is available
  on the Digital CD-ROM Software Library for Digital UNIX
  Alpha Layered Products (QA-054AA-H8).

Well, that sounded encouraging. So a bit more searching got
me to ...

http://ww1.systems.digital.com/DDic.nsf/06969afe059e8dfe802563c4006f6593/0e37fe27581fba0b80256436005e2212

... where it says:

 One-time Purchase or Subscription

 Get the OpenVMS VAX, OpenVMS Alpha, Digital UNIX, ULTRIX
 VAX, and ULTRIX RISC operating systems and most of their
 layered software products in complete CD-ROM sets via a
 one-time purchase or on a regular subscription basis.

 Along with the purchase of the individual software product
 licenses, the full complement of products becomes available
 to you on one medium.

Well, that sounded *really* promising. However, when I look
at the list of products in that document, order # QA-054AA-H8
is alleged to belong to

        PATHWORKS for DIGITAL UNIX - Software Library
        Media and Documentation CD-ROM

So I was starting to get worried that this wasn't what I want
after all. However, as I was typing all this, I got messages
from two kind souls (Gyula Szokoly <szgyula_at_tarkus.pha.jhu.edu>
and Mike Iglesias <iglesias_at_draco.acs.uci.edu>), who report that
Digital's online sales system refers to QA-054AA-H8 as

  UNX SW Library LP's CDROM Software Product Descr: N/A
  Licensed Binaries and Documentation on Compact Disk

So it sounds as if that's what I need. Many thanks to them, and
to all the rest of you who've replied (including those who've not
replied yet, but will before this one reaches you :-).
