- I'm not the one who asked for TAIL; my posting was simply to let people know
- that a TAIL-like feature was coming in OpenVMS V6. I should have also pointed
- out that this was the direct result of a DECUS SIR request, so here's
- evidence that they work!
-

- records, as it's difficult to tell for sure where the previous record starts.
