6.3B vax: help
I didn't get very much help here. I was able to read the olc stock
answers but I already know how to do this. Is this really the beavior
for 'help' this fall? May I suggest 'help' printing some text which
tells people about various ways to get help because it seems to me
that nothing is ready yet (it is august 16 now).
Another problem: The top level of the OLC stock answer tree seems to be
stored locally within the olh system- the stock answer system is a dynamic
one which is updated frequently to keep up new stuff- there is no guarantee
that the current structure will be preserved. A database system built
into the file system accomplishes much more than a centralized one.
