Yeah,
You folks have a lot of non-standard stuff don't you. One of your
students came to our campus and couldn't do anything, because what he thought
was VMS was all .COMs and such that you folks had on your systems. (Actually
he was a fairly knowledgable consultant, and knew they were .COMs, but he
didn't know the way to do things in honest-to-DEC VMS). This me impresses
me as a dis-service to your students. Each and every one will put on their
Resumes they know VMS, and they really won't.
