I note that NEWS now takes just about half the time to start up (ie from typing NEWS at DCL to getting the "DIR/NEW" screen displayed) that it did while the stuff was on the RA82. This purely unscientific test suggests that NEWS startup time is predominated by disk I/O. --- Jamie Hanrahan, Simpact Associates, San Diego CA Chair, VMSnet [DECUS uucp] and Internals Working Groups, DECUS VAX Systems SIG Internet: jeh@simpact.com, or if that fails, jeh@crash.cts.com Uucp: ...{crash,scubed,decwrl}!simpact!jeh
