Thanks for the words of encouragement.  Most of the flak has been in Email,
people flaming me about being a VMSoid, and how dare I compare a unix product
to a VMS product, and that I must be brain damaged to use VMS, anyway. There
were some votes against the newsgroup simply because people out there hate VMS
and anything connected with it.  Personally, I think all the people talking
about patch are right, it would be better. It just doen't exist. Of course the
proper solution is for Geoff to go to each site, individually, and update the
software personally, making any local modification the site wanted while he is
there. If Geoff can't do it, I would be happy to, for a small fee. :-)
