<whine: ON> So, I filed a bug on 8.0.5.0.1 on OpenVMS on 04/13/2000. This is the latest MetaClink update: "I have not been able to test on 817, and really not sure I will be able to do this. This bug was logged against 80501, not even a supported product any longer. It may be I should just close out the iTAR...and I might do this if there is nothing done with the bug in May." The thing is that it's an EASY fix! I fudged a fix in the problem DCL over a year ago! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUGGGH! <whine: OFF> Blood...sugar...dangerously...low....must...get...beer....
