DSIN for the VMS operating system is an essential part of my tricks to fix the
numerous problems I face (as a side note, my current employer, Texas
Instruments Information Technology Group division, does not believe in
training).  Therefore, I want to receive my paycheck, I had better figure
out a way to fix problems with very little background on how to fix them). 
DSIN basically has helped keep me employed and keep the paycheck coming
in.  For example, I had just used DSIN to determine what the SYSGEN
parameter TTY_DEFPORT meant (it was not listed in the documentation). 
And unlike a bulletin board, I could search for past problem reports (just
like on the CD-ROM systems I have at work).
