what a waste!  do you have any clue to _WHY_ UN*X people hate VM/VMS?
C'mon, Charles, admit it.  You're just pissed of because you never
had the patience to actually learn UN*X and got stuck in a piss poor
job playing with an antiquated OS :-)

><What works on Unix
><doesn't necessarily work on either of the two.

being no fault of UN*X.  if we got something neat that you can't do, why
would that be a problem, other than for you, I mean?

><And when are you people going to get the sticks out of your ***** and switch
><to xx{en,de}code?

yes, but it sure does provide a target rich environment for those
who just LOVE to flame "stoopid" people's butts off ;-]

OBJ: BTW, do any of you idiotic UN*X people know where a fellow idiot
can get a _real_ `vi' editor for the PC?  I've got one called `Z' which
is as close as I've found (no mapping or abbreviations, though)  I also
downloaded two from SIMTEL20 (stevie & vi-19a, I think) but they weren't
any better.  If not, I'll just have to use the wonderful editor over on
our campus VMS machine, called `xedit'.  Appropriately named for those who
speak `vi' ;^)  For those who don't, we're laughing at you for not using an
editor powerful enough to make games with the macros (yes, this has
actually been done)  You can even use it to edit files.  Imagine that!

and now for something completely stoopid...
1/2 * PS = PS/2 (half a computer)
    +
1/2 * OS = OS/2 (half an operating system)
    =
1/2 * brained scheme
