- Oh that's ok, come on in... sit down. Would you like some coffee? No?
- Tea? I've got some sugar here somewhere... one lump or two? Oh that's
- so nice. Did you knit that sweater yourself? Do tell me all about it.
- That's what I'm here for, to socialize with you. That's ok, don't go
- into all those boring technical details, be vague, it's friendlier.
- After all, comp.os.vms is where friendly people hang out just to socialize.
- If any Bad Boys (tm) come in, why we just let them know that here we're
- all nice to each other.
-
- #Maybe later if I can't solve this.
-
- Yes, give us the details if you can't solve it, but not too many because
- that would be technical and boring! Thanks!
-
- #I was just hoping someone had run across a similar problem and could give
- #me some suggestions.
-
- Soak it in cold water and rub it with a brick. If that doesn't help
- try cutting it off. You'll need a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
- This will however remove any chances of having children soon.
-
- #You can bet I'll post a summary whatever happens.
-
- Oh yeah, I'd love to hear all about it. Especially if you use
- a C-clamp to anchor it down, doncha know ;-)
-
- #Are there any tips for one who has only worked on Unix, MS-DOS, Primos,
- #and C-64 platforms?
-
- Yes! There are lots. I don't know where to begin. My favorite tip is
- 15%, but if service is great it goes up to 20-30%!!!
-
- #Any "features" or uncommon (but legal) requirements?
-
- Yeah, if you fathered it then you're liable for its education. However,
- if you do that C-clamp cutoff I suggested you won't ever have to
- worry about that "feature" or any of its legal requirements again!
-
- #If I am being too vague please don't complain,
-
- I wouldn't dream of complaining, because I just love socializing on
- comp.os.vms. I feel just like a Jeff Killeen puppet, sucking my own
- 'features' and milking the DECUS membership of all their trust.
-
- #I'll get to specifics as soon as I can.
-
- There's no hurry! Really! Take your time! Have another cup of tea?
-
- #If you have any pointers (heh heh) please let me know.
-
- Sure, I have lots:
- char *p;
- char *q;
- int *i;
-
- (I is ok, but mind those p's and q's)
