There are a lot of things in VMS that just don't have a mappable counterpart in the UNIX world. RMS, for instance. I've had my head deep in the bowels of RMS for the past 4 years. It's not something that I believe would ever see the light of day on a non- VMS O/S notwithstanding its appearance in the ontogeny of VMS. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
