From: Keith Petersen <w8sdz@brl> Info-CPM readers who have an account on MIT-MC should be VERY careful about using USQ on MC. Please don't use it unless you know its commands. We have had two occasions recently where ARchive files were messed up because users didn't know that the default output of USQ goes to the SAME DIRECTORY as the input file. Most of the ARchive devices are filled to capacity and this causes them to exceed the safe limit. This corrupts the Archived files making it necessary to restore the entire ARchive. --Keith

From: Gail Zacharias <GZ@mit-mc> I just made :CPM;USQ defaultly output the file to your home directory, so you don't need to be very careful anymore. Note that you can direct the output to any file you want, by doing :CPM;USQ input file, output file Guest users of MC should use this form to place the output in a file obeying the naming conventions of group directories, e.g. :CPM;USQ AR203:CPM;BIG WQN, MYNAME BIGWIN If you are just playing around seeing how things look, maybe you want to use :CPM;TYPESQ instead...
