The cancel command issued by Portal administrator was not totally effective. There was discussion some time ago of making a new SUPER-CANCEL command. I suggest that the CANCEL command be properly fixed to do what it is supposed to do, namely to cancel properly and completly wherever it is, the object of its purpose. I include the following text from a Following to the now well known original JJ posting which was still lurking around yesterday morning in comp.sys.dec. By the way, JJ seems to have posted to every news group: I don't recall how many copies of his infamous message I read. Furthermore, there were also the replies that it sparked on the net in various groups. >Newsgroups: comp.sys.celerity,comp.sys.dec,comp.sys.dec.micro,comp.sys.encore >Subject: Re: HELP ME!!! >References: <5832@cup.portal.com> > > [...] > >Jay-Jay's College Fund >PO BOX 5631 >Lincoln, NE 68505 > > [... more stuff deleted, full text available on request] ------------------- -- Claude Goutier Centre de calcul, Universite de Montreal ...!iros1!goutier C.P. 6128, Succ "A", Montreal (Quebec) goutier@iros1.uucp Canada H3C 3J7 (514) 343-7234
