Then, you have an accurate count of how many we had at ARL/ETDL?

Once again, you shot this messenger for discussing another messenger's
message.  Yeah, the term DoD is abused and misused to mean most gov't
jobs.  I took a "DoD" job at GE AstroSpace years ago to work on NASA's
Mars Observer and I needed clearance.  Clearly not because NASA is DoD
but because there was work being done by GE Astro for the DoD.  There 
was no need, however, to get so haughty because you are c.o.v's self-
proclaimed expert on all things gov't and DoD VMS related.  I merely
relayed what I found when following the initially posted URL.  Frank
should be shot down too for posting the URL, I suppose, since it does
not bode well with your "THERE'S NO VMS WHATSOEVER IN GOV'T" mantra.
