<$ copy sys$input nlao:> ---FLAME ON---- There has been a lot of articles taking silly, uninformed potshots at the VMS operating system lately that are misguidedly RE:'s to what started out as a legitimate COMPARISON of UNIX and VMS. There were a couple of articles in which I had real intellectual debate with folks who have used both and have informed opinions and good reason for their likes and dislikes. The rest of them were just from a bunch of assholes so far as I am concerned. Just because you feel it may be 'fashionable' to take potshots at VMS on a UNIX-user oriented network, is no reason to trod out you ignorance. I am tired of commentary from people who dislike VMS because of something mentioned "to a friend of a friend who ran into somebody who talked to somebody who used VMS 5 years ago.......".... We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Yeah, so long as you keep them to yourself. If you present them to the rest of us, make sure they are INFORMED opinions. ---FLAME OFF--- The opinions expressed herein are soley those of the author. They should not be misconstrued as having any connection with any policies of my contractor or my employer. M. Kenig ...abnjh!cbspt002
