Do'nt forget though that you can usually whip up some pipeline in a
unix shell that will do whatever search can do. VMS would be loads better
if it had a reasonable shell. I'm not even asking for sh or csh just 
something besides DCL. Yes, I've seen the sh'ish shell that vms has
and it's fine as long as you run the N commands that it understands,
after that you are SOL.
