The error message >manual gave it as 'Path lost to partner'. DEC's OS/8 had three ways to invoke TECO - they were TECO, MAKE and MUNG. If that in itself was not funny, if you ever typed: MAKE LOVE You would get the response: Not war? and TECO would then fire up as usual. Alas - I can find nothing funny about VMS. DEC goes corporate. ..Bob -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. ulowell!page, page@ulowell.CSNET
