From: *Hobbit* <AWalker@RUTGERS.ARPA>

I've stumbled across lots of 'em since the last episode.  Most of them involve
third-party software, of course, but here are some DEC-only ones.

Diskquota:  The sequence USE <dev>, CREATE, REBUILD, REMOVE <the UIC's I didn't
want included, including [1,4]> led to *no one* being able to write any files
without EXQUOTA.  SHOW QUOTA still insisted that there were no quota entries
for the given UIC's that were having trouble.  Why??  I see no subtleties in
the Diskquota utility.  REMOVE should perform as advertised; I suspect that it
is not, and leaving rat turds around.

Phone:  It doesn't work at all.  If I answer someone who is calling me, I
get this trash about ''attempting to continue after a transmission error'',
and more than likely an access violation.  The calling end simply exits without
a whimper.  Or something like that.  It's so f*cked up that I don't want to 
deal with it until someone tells me the stupid simple thing I haven't done,
or I get a fix, or comfirmation that it is indeed screwed up beyond all 
belief.  Will someone please put my mind at ease??

Mail:  What the hell is MAIL/PROTOCOL all about?  Why isn't it in the manual?

Spawn: Why didn't they fix the cretinous stuff about associated mailboxes?

$brdcst: Why does this *not* check for the existence of OPER privs?  I have
people with the usual two default privs using an old sender program with
universal success, *without* my having installed it with OPER.  What gives?

General: Is there a way to *extract* what a CLD source looked like from
DCLTABLES?  *That* would be one way to find these undocumented commands...
