Only human...

Remember that big piece of news I gave you last week?  The one about the
new database server QSPIRES? Well, you can forget it.  I misread the
helpfile that I pulled from it which says that it is available to SLAC
BITNET nodes. (But ONLY SLAC nodes...) Thanks to Tom Benson for the info.

I have been getting a lot of letter lately which tell me that the Relay
MAS@CORNELLC is really alive after all, but only at night and on weekends.
Sounds like a vampire to me.  (-36 on the Clever scale)

In any case, one of the letters was qualified by the words "as long as the
money holds out" or something to that effect.  This strikes me as a very
temporary situation and I know that if I put it in the list this week the
funds will run out and I will have to run the funeral all over again.

Let's talk about births instead.  Tulane University is the proud father
(mother?) of a bouncing baby RELAY@TCSVM. Thanks to Wendel Bordelon for the
news.  Likewise, a source which prefers to stay anonymous has passed on
the news that University of Illinois has given birth to the Relay
BASTILLE@UIUCVMC.

Niccolo' Avico has given me the good news that there is a new electronic
magazine out about REXX.  Issues are available from LFCNET@ICNUCEVM via
the /Get or /Send commands.  The syntax rules for the filename are:

filename:  REXXyymm    -    where yy is the year and mm the month
filetype:  FORUM

For example, the first issue is named REXX8511 FORUM.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()

Deck the Halls...

The BITLIST will be published right through the Christmas season.  For those
of you that are going home for the winter break I wish you a very merry
Christmas and a happy New Year.  Drive carefully, don't drink and drive, use
your seatbelts and don't forget to wear your galoshes!

In terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Epi ge eirene en anthropois eudokias.
Peace on Earth to men of good will.

Virtually;

Chris
