Hi,
 Thanks to the many people who offered or sent a copy of VMSSWEEP,
which provides capability to unpack a DOS ARC file. Special thanks to
ARCHERB @ UMKCVAX1.BITNET, who is working over the summer on a "full
feature" VAX version of ARC.

 Does anyone know how to debug a program using SMG now that the
debugger uses SMG too, without being forced to use a second terminal?
Getting your hands on another terminal is hard here, getting one which
is connected "directly" is even harder and setting the port up so that
the second line output is intelligible is near-impossible to the
applications programmer who asked me to ask this question. The manual
glibly says "use a second terminal", it's not just as easy as that.

 I'm proud to be called a hacker. But I don't think most people
know why. Of course, I accept the "true" definition of "hacker" and
am most upset if anyone accuses me of being a "cracker".
