Put VMS onto your >PC if you like it better... Peter started the VMS thread. I want to stop it in this group. But that does mean I will accept wrong and unclear statements about VMS in this group. VMS does not exist for PCs, I am afraid. I have a PC at home with NetBSD to play with unix. I wouldn't say that everything is too bad in unix, but I would use VMS if it would exist for PCs. I am missing the order, hierachy and nice software development tools of VMS there. May be I will buy my own AXP later. The point at the beginning was, that I think the names 'unlink' and 'remove' are meaningless and unclear for beginners. This is the case for most identifier in unix/C. Therefore unix and C are no good environment for beginners. A good book might help, but that does not make it much better (of course, that depends on the person). > >-- >J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer >joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j Henry -- juengst@saph1.physik.uni-bonn.de [131.220.161.1] (Internet) omni:.de.uni-bonn.physik.saph1::juengst (DECnet/OSI, phase V) saph1::juengst [26.358] (DECnet, phase IV) Any opinions in this mail are my own.
