The machine she is using runs VMS, as do several hundred other DEC machines which appear to be on USENET. (this is how our good friend Ken Arndt communicates with us) It is obviously difficult to maintain distribution and references (you forgot this one, Gordon) through a mailing list. However, this doesn't mean we can't ask decwrl to try to work on it... How likely are they to fix it? Well, I hear DEC broke TCP/IP on the latest release of Ultrix. TCP/IP is not supported. Need I say more? -- Plan: To play as much volleyball as possible. Phil Ngai (408) 749-5720 UUCP: {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra}!amdcad!phil ARPA: amdcad!phil@decwrl.ARPA
