It appears that you have a choice of where it could go (the output
is from DIR/TITLE="verb"/OUTPUT=[dir]name.ext).

| Since we're here...
From "Remember Digital's Customer-Oriented Values" by Jack Shields:
"We are the only vendor that has consistently, for many years, offered
solutions that do not require the *obsoleting* of existing investments
either in our equipment or our competition's."

I just read an announcement for a class that described it as a
"Manufacturing Reskilling Class."
Reskilled??? If I am skilled in some activity, did I have to be skilled
to get that way? If I'm reskilled, am I more skilled than I was before?
My mind boggles at such a phrase...

474.5 | nomenclache? | COMICS::DEMORGAN | Richard De Morgan, UK CSC/CS | Fri Feb 12 1988 17:24 | 1 |

474.6 | pacifated? | COMICS::DEMORGAN | Richard De Morgan, UK CSC/CS | Wed Feb 17 1988 14:53 | 2 |
| Good grief! - another one from a notesfile: "I'm running the V4 version
of BACKUP, which also pacifated my operations group"

474.7 | FUNERALIZED, DEAD, AND BURIED | SAHQ::LILLY | it's a slow news day | Tue May 10 1988 21:26 | 8 |
| The Atlanta Journal had an obituary today the said,"...Mrs. (What's
her name?) will be funeralized at 1:00p.m. on Tuesday."
Now, I guess that if she is put in a crypt, she will be...
CRYPTONIZED!!

474.10 | Having a baby ocean liner... | USHS08::CHANDLER2 | Send lawyers, guns, & money | Wed May 11 1988 22:56 | 7 |
| Nothing to do with cryptography ( or perhaps, cryptology? ), but
I heard an ad on the radio recently about a local hospital offering
extended maternity care for the best possible birthing experience
for the new mother. How does one birth, unless you happen to be
an ocean liner who can't spell?

"Paul has been auctioned, too." An ovbious reduction in workforce.

Guess it's somewhere between enlightened and enraged. Next thing will
be that conferences are moderatorified.
