Not the way I'd go. If for my sins I were made king of the list, I'd be more King Log than King Stork. Off-topic doesn't bother me, and it would take a lot to get me to ban any poster. But I wouldn't mind deleting individual posts that are deliberately derisive, denigrating or insulting. ---

The caveat here is, I can no longer run Office 97 as it is not compatible with W11. I've found that all my older software (that worked up through W7) will not run under W11. Argggh!  I'm wondering if I can get it to work under V-BOX with an older W/7 Installation Steve Thompson On

Alias entry points have separate directory entries. The alias directory entries have a flag bit on (I remember there is a DSECT IHAPDS or similar name) which indicate that this directory entry is an alias and also may have a different entry point address than the real or other alias members

I'm setting up some sysplex and found some healthcheck is not OK, the reason was XCFAS was not TRUSTED. Questions: 1. Is the requirement of the TRUSTED status documented anywhere? That's good to know before auditor asked. 2. Is there any way to fix it without reIPL? 3. Somehow related to 2.  -

My memory is far from perfect, however I could swear it was RTF. Many years ago. Or maybe it was another non-DOC format? I just checked it now - RTF is supported (Word 2013). However uncle Google shows some vulnerabilities related to Word and RTF. BTW: my another "favorite" feature of MS is

Wait - the new Word doesn't read RTF?!! The other changes I'll cheerfully join you in deploring, but this is the only one that truly shocks me. Not that I am fluent in RTF. But I did write an ooRexx program once to convert a collection of plain-text error messages to a decent format using RTF
