[fa.info-vax] Stubborn VMS directory file

Pat:

You can get rid of the directory file if you convince VMS that it isn't
a directory file thusly:

        $ Set File <directory>/NoDirectory
        $ Delete <directory>

You then need to do an $ Analyze/Disk/Repair/Confirm (with BYPASS turned
on) to recover the lost files which used to be in the directory.  Come to
think of it, $ Analyze/Disk/Repair might just fix it up anyway.

Hope this helps...

Girard, you rat, this is Pat Palmer.  I saw your note and
thought I'd try getting mail through.  I work at AT&T in New
Jersey and am on Usenet; it looks like the path is:

     info-vax!ucbvax!ulysses!mhuxr!ihnp4!hou2h!pgp (UUCP address)

Anyway, machine ihnp4 gates to ARPA, and ihnp4!hou2h!pgp should
reach me.

Hope you are doing well.  I heard you ended up back in the old home
town.  I like it up here, and I like my job so far (microprocessor
development in a UNIX environment); I've been here a year.  
Well, gotta go.  Greetings to friends in East Tennessee.  I'd be pleased
to receive mail from you or even get a call acknowledging that this
got through.  Bye now,
