Subject: What's Hacking VAX Special - 7 From: David Lightman (Level 30) [A dude who wanted access] To: ALL Sent: 3/1/90 at 3:00 pm FILENAME EXTENSIONS: =================== Occasionally you will run across a BIG directory. This will hopefully not happen until you read more on VAX on my WHAT'S HACKING sub boards, but if it does, this list will hopefully help you avoid making too big a mistake or wasting a lot of time.
