Hi Gang,

I have noticed a trend that seems to be picking up in recent times.  There 
are a great many messages of this form:

  Can somebody please tell me where I can get a copy of 'make' for VMS?

To some of you, that might seem like a most reasonable request...if you 
know what "make" is.  I see a lot of such requests naming programs which I 
have never heard of.  Now, you might say, "well then, it's none of your 
business."  You would be correct, except that I am on this net to learn 
about as much as possible.

Please, everybody, when you ask for information about a program, or for a 
source of it, give a brief, even terse, description of what it is.  I, (and
I assume many others), might want such a porgram if we knew it existed. 

Thanks much for listening to me

Dan Graham
