For an undergraduate, not only are resources hard (read nearly impossible) to come by for undirected use, resources required for course work are not always adequate. It's about 10:15 pm now, and the one vax that is available for undergradate course work is "a little overloaded". This is not an environment for getting people interested in using Unix! watrose up 6+10:52, 40 users, load 22.37, 19.03, 17.85 (The local (world?) record load average for rose (a 780) is over 80!) I should be careful though. There is obviously a great deal of space between no use at all and complete freedom to do what you want. Personally, I believe were further to the former than we should be, at least in terms of undergraduate computing facilities. --Andy Fyfe ...!{decvax, allegra, ihnp4, et. al}!watmath!wjafyfe wjafyfe%watmath@waterloo.csnet
