That's just poor management on your college's part.  You should have

Perhaps. Note: This was back in 1991 and 1992 on VAXen.

In late 1992, I got an account on tamuts and tamsun and I never
noticed the same problem with those -- so it may be a VMS thing.

Might be.  I remember our Vax and VMS quite unfondly.  We finally
retired it a couple of years ago, I think.

Wow, there's a blast from the past! -- I think that sounds like my
experience too.  I just dug these old From lines up from an old Usenet
archive from 1989:

Eek -- look at all those.  :-p

I'm pretty sure those machines were Vaxen...

(...) Hah. Want a real blast? My current job involves migrating Boston University's few remaining VMS systems to Something More Modern. Whoo hoo. I sure get MY fill of typing, lemme tell you. DCL ain't exactly a terse. (26 years ago, 19-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
