217 Dear Mike,
218 You mentioned that the recent high

220 act strangly. It seems it's users have
221 the same blight.

227 
228 YES, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SYSTEM HAS ATTRACTED SOME RATHER STRANGE USERS.
229 
230 ***********************************************************
231 Some people I know have written a program for RSTS/E that
232 resembles DBBS, but they (Gary Moyer, Gordon Moyer, & Tom
233 Tremain) call it TSCS (Time Sharing Comunication System).
234 It would be an ideal BBS except I (as in myself) am writing
235 DBBS. When school starts (UGG!!!!) I will program it into
236 the system that we use, and devote an account to DBBS only.
237 I will give out the password to the account, and give each
238 user an access password with thier own mailbox (mine will
239 be 1 of course, and Adolphs will be 3). I am also tring to
240 get some other people from the asylum to want to use it.
241    Well, talk to you later Dinjey.

245 The only things I misspelled are Harold John's titles
246 because he did himself.
247 I did not write the message about Freedman being Memorex! !
248 I can't have you mad at me because of 'mis-speeling', you're

301 FROM: Guess who
302 SUBJ: RSTS/E
303 
304  Which RSTS system are you using, I have used a couple
305 of different ones in my 7 full years of programming experience
306 (and I not even 16 yet! - 10 days till my birthday).
307  Once you discover UNIX I'm sure you will prefer it -
308 It's like a camera*: SO ADVANCED IT'S SIMPLE!
309 All commands are simply seperate programs - if you want a
310 new command, you just make a program that does what you wish
311 the command to do, and there you have it - all programs are
312 accessed by simply typing the name of the program. If you 
313 prefer BASIC most UNIX systems have a RSTS/E BASIC simulator
314 (much like switching Run-Time Systems on a RSTS system) to use
315 instead of C or Pascal. UNIX should be used for worthwile things
316 while the small, menial tasks can be left to the inferiors!!!
317 (Tek UNIX uses a Z-80 to timeshare the 100 different ports -
318 while the computations are left to the superior DEC processor!)

402      Arise oh protector of the system. Yeah verily I say unto you, 
403 "Remove this curse from the system!". (Gee! I didn't even know it 
404 had V.D. !) [Shut up you jerk, I wasn't talking about that!]
405     From the highest code level I command you exicute for me this 
406 very Day of that which I beseach you to do. (Not me you idiot!)
407     Go to the land of DISK and there by remove from that land that 
408 which is unquiet. Let there be silence thru out the DISK!
409     Remove there of all that is ungood! Do not spare the weak and 
410 faltering data with which you will deal! If you dare to find that
411 which is of questionalble value return it to me (thank you)
412 forth with (without fifth?) so that I may determin its fate
413 (You vill meet a tall dark stranger.) Do not pause in your search
414 until the DISK is cleared of this disturbance. Then may I again return
415 to the land of DISK free to sleep restfully and quietly but for the 
416 occasional clicking of solinoids and gentle shushing of steppers.
417 
418      YEAH THOUGH I STEP THRU THE LINES OF NOISE AND UNQUIET
419    I WILL FEAR NO BELLS, FOR I AM THE SYSOP ALMIGHTY,

426      Alass, as is the case with all cures, there is a side effect
427 related to this correction. All my own beautiful bells are
