Hey Dave, has it ever occurred to you that some people
might not use unix, preferring operating systems that work?

VMS has no such "tr" command, so I have been forced to write my own
rotate program as I'm sure many others also have done.

******

just the fact he hates unix, yet he's *forced* to write his own program
(due to vms's apparent lack of tools) is joke enough.  come on, lemaire,
i'm sure you could have used VMS COBOL, couldn't you?  i guess you wanted
to use the more modern 'software engineering' type language, BASIC.

i know, i know, i'm not supposed to sit here and flame some person who
loves VMS.  so here's my one liner:



	bliss is ignorance

if you didn't catch the jokes, then you probably know nothing about VMS.
feel lucky!
