As far as I never could figure out that VM/CMS...but then again, I like the command line and a tree-based file system not $SYS_USERS[004.UND][GREERGA.WWW]. IMHO /home/student/greerga is a low more readable. I personally don't care what volume I'm on, I just want to access things. I've also seen the VAX way of changing directories, something about using set and a really long command line, most people could equate cd a lot easier, even if the backslashes go the right way in Unix. Student run Unix machines are often very effective too. MUC and MUHCC have demonstrated that with their Unix machines. We typically have more time to keep current on software and answer questions. And Linux can do just about anything (for free). -- George Greer [log in to unmask] | Genius may have its limitations, but http://www.ham.muohio.edu/~greerga | stupidity is not thus handicapped.
