Re: VMS 8.2 VMSINSTAL Bug with RUN_IMAGE Persists?

Hi,

I know you're all dying to know how this turned out. Apparently the first
mail (and quite a few other one's from more important people :-) didn't get
through, and the last one was late. In any event here is the feed-back: -

I don't have a support contract, though I did make sure it got
through to VMS Engineering.
on an unofficial basis.

So clearly I am not the only one to experience the full brunt of that
delightful VMS engineering arrogance that I speek so much of. And there was
I feeling special :-(

"Don't have a support contact? Those stinking pigs! Get me a knife; I'm
going to cut VMS's nose off right now! There are procedures and protocols
and pecking orders to preserve here and we'd much rather let VMS sink than
fix a hole that hasn't been reported in the proper fashion. Lock that
degenerate, impertinent, filth down there with Leonardo Di Caprio - Their
unpleasantness is upsetting our view of those lovely ice bergs. I mean, how
much water is it letting in anyway.".

Cheers Richard Maher

Hi again,

Have you requested one? I searched for the snippet you quote from one
of
"COVs kind souls" and can't find it. So I assume that was from an
e-mail.
Did he report it?

Well I e-mailed him again to ask, and either he's ignoring me, I'm in his
kill-file, or my mail's just not getting through. Either way, I found a
previous reply confirming that the report did in fact get to VMS
Engineering. (See below)

Cheers Richard Maher
