Hi,
In WIN/TCP for VMS 5.1, TALK does not handle userids with numeric characters
in them correctly. For example, TALK turns the userid AC02 into acPR and
the userid OB23 into obRV. The bad part of this problem is that TALK will
not let this userid connect to others via TALK..... :(
If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know. I have sent in a
modification request. I have 1500 userids of which 1200 or so have numbers
in them....
