Ah well - that's where inside knowledge helps. I worked at DEC for a while, including some time spent working on VMS (to be precise, on VAX/VMS DEBUG). Dave Cutler was working on VAX C at the time, which meant we were part of the same organisational group. Since those days I've also worked at Unix houses (such as SGI, for one). Both HAL::IBM and VMS::WNT are, sadly, nothing more than coincidence. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
