Re: style



Our VMS mailer on the DEC alpha does not permit backup after an
end-of-line.

With all the Windows, Mac and Linux users on this group, I don't think
any of our "religion" debates have ever brought up the matter of VMS
(Very Mysterious System) before. For those who haven't had the
misfortune of using it, think of it as a more cryptic and disfunctional
version of DOS. (Sorry if I've stepped over any religious boundaries.)


and considerably worse than Unix. I've had the curse of both in a previous
lifetime. Sorry to hear anyone's still using it!

If I had one wish for our nation,
I would wish for a turn about of what we value in a person.
We value athletic prowess, and not intelligence.
We value physical attractiveness, and not beauty of the soul.
We value cunning and wealth, and not honesty and integrity.
These lessons should be taught to our youth.
Instead our schools demand athletic competition of every student,
and denigrate the scholar.
Failing to reward excellence rewards failure. - Dr. L. Breur Krause
