Let me get this straight. The problem's not important enough for you to remember the exact error, but you expect help? What the fuck are they teaching people these days? >illegal command: bind.

That's what I get paid for. My understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below). So unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my organization responsible for it. If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
