756.0. "VMS and DEJAVU" by CLUE::PAINTER (Heaven is void of prejudice.) Tue Jun 07 1988 10:35

I have this feeling that the minds here could come up with some great 
DEJAVU-type VMS commands.

Have at it!  (;^)

	Our interest in VMS error messages was born one day as
	Dave and I drove home from an MRO3 lunch, and got hooked
	by the idea of an AI product for the home:  VAX Babysitter.
	We were making things up at a furious pace.  Dave chimed
	up with
		BABSIT-F-BABYNIX, baby not found

	...and many others.  I actually had to stop the car and
	laugh against the steering wheel when he muttered, more
	to himself than me,

		$ SET BABY/NOCRY

	So...

   %MAIL-F-PRODMOO, illegal use of cattleprod
