Re: Happy Holidays to All
Whether you celebrate Sinterklaas, Christmas, December solstice, or one of several other events around this time of year (that I can't spell when I'm sleepy), it's been an informative year here (as always) and I hope next year brings you all something good. It's bringing me a roadtrip into Scotland, something I've been waiting 3 years for :-) Take care and see you all next year! :-) Roops On Sun, 25 Dec 2022, 03:06 Steve Horein, wrote: > You too! > > On Sat, Dec 24, 2022 at 2:06 PM Farley, Peter < > 031df298a9da-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > > > Whichever festival of light or year-end tradition you celebrate at this > > dark (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) time of year, > > have a joyous and safe holiday time.

Whichever festival of light or year-end tradition you celebrate at this dark (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) time of year, have a joyous and safe holiday time.

Hi Ed, REORG? Not bad... Better than unfoam, that's for sure. But I also like the defrag suggestion. I think I'm going with that. BTW... Merry Christmas!

But then along came... well, actual compression! As we all know, PDS compression has nothing to do with data compression. All it does is rearrange the physical location of members so as to eliminate the holes (foam? gas?) that has arisen between them. Historically, we have called that "compression", but in this day and age continuing to call it that no longer is an option. Has anyone come up with a better term that I missed while not looking? I like REORG. It's a time-honored (often database) term used to describe various processes similar to what is done to a PDS during "compression"... -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
