    4.2 works fairly well, compared to what I saw in 4.1. If you
    can, read the manual that they send along with it, several times.
    VMS is bizarre, Unix is simple so that makes Eunice Simply bizarre.
    It's a wierd feeling in that environment. I don't know about links
    yet, but if you have any other questions, just ask away and I'll see
    what I can do.

    But again as long as you have it set up right, (that might be the
    entire problem, you may never get it right!!) it works. I support
    two sites, and we are working on getting a third.

    I read it, and I certainly am not hand picked .
