Hehe, well when the guys were here from River Forest (tech center), we
did an install of OpenVMS 7.1-2, and then an upgrade to 7.2-1, so I'll
be able to get through the install on my own.  Other than that, I can
add users, and add queues.  I may be attempting to use this as a
desktop, although why I'd want to replace this P-II 400 with an older
alpha station for a desktop is still a question.  So there will be a lot
of VMS questions flying this way, as soon as I call and chat with Fred.

Cool, reading your posts tends to be entertaining and educational.  I
always love it when the lists are hopping, although it tends to get in
the way of "real work".  :)
