11/15 A multitude of whining deleted. Go home to your mommy, please.
\_ Excuse me? I'd *like* my home directory back, thank you.
\_ You call that whining??? asking why the "usr2" accounts
are screwed and not responding, while giving a "I/O Error"
when you try to "cd" into the directory??? Boy, are some
people on SODA assholes!!! (just because their account is still
there). You're probably the one who tripped over the cable
and said "I wonder what this is for." |

11/15 Soda's sendmail IDs as "Philmail" ???
\_ You got a problem with that? -phillip
\_ Ah! A beta-tester for the Philmail-philcompress interface!
\_ I just thought I'd take this opportunity to communicate
how distressed I am with this concept of "philcompress".
It really doesn't follow the ethic of philware, and
besideswhich, it just isn't very funny (not nearly so
funny as "philzip", which actually works, if it were
written). -phillip
\_ Would you object to having philmail filter all letters
through philspell? And what's the status of PhilOS?
\_ PhilOS will be done as soon as I get done debugging
philcc which, among other things, will suppport
approximate pointer matching. -phillip |
