And the broken ssh tunneling wasn't a show-stopper either? (Fixed by TCPIP
Services patch).  I suppose you WEENIES on WEENDOZE are happy if something
just barely functions -- not me.

And bugs such as the macro/debug bug are showstoppers for people providing
products *FOR* VMS.  I suppose you just use your VMS systems to edit your
LOGIN.COM?  Some people do a bit more with theirs. ;)

I aware of that bug that Guy Peleg discovered too.  I'm not certain if its
fix has seen the light of day or the patch list yet.

Just because you don't feel any pain doesn't mean that others don't need a
strong dose of painkiller.
