Hi,

        What about using MDISKBLK,  or something like it,  to read
blocks from a minidisk which has been CP LINKed,  but not ACCESSed?
Also,  what about something that would write blocks as well as read?
This would be useful.   Just a random thought.   I have an application
that would use such things as these.

"Good enough"  isn't.

 Hi, David.

 I can see that I am rather terse on this in the SQL help information;
 I should certainly expand on this.

 There is a bug in my SQL interface such that this sequence:
    pipe literal insert xxx | s: sql execute
                 <----l--->                  <----n---->
 the length of the insert statement (l) is incorrectly taken as the
 length of any additional operands on execute (n).  The error message is
 particularly unintelligent when n is zero.

 The  scan  of the  connect  command  is  as SQL  proscribes.   Without
 keywords,  the sequence  is indeed  userid, password,  database.  This
 from PIPSQL ASSEMBLE:

* CONNECT <userid> [IDENTIFIED [BY]] <password> [TO <database>]
* CONNECT TO <database>

 The easiest way by far is to do all of this with three separate
 PIPE commands using the nocommit option on SQL.

  pipe sql nocommit execute connect user password database
  pipe sql nocommit execute delete
  pipe .... | sql insert into oscar

 Though you can combine the first two:

  pipe literal delete ...|sql nocommit execute connect user password db

       capt. Vladimir (I believe that was his first name) Zak
(pronounced ZHuk) is a former Russian military intelligence officer
who was naturalized as a Czechoslovak citizen.  He worked for the
security police in the Czech Republic, but left them, and after the
revolution somehow got back in.  Some allege that he sold out to Havel
and promised him lots of dirt based on what he knew from the old days.
  He was, he says, assigned to investigate corruption, bribery etc.,
conducted by cabinet members, politicians and bureaucrats allegedly
being paid off by a rich co-operative (druzstvo) in Slusovice,
Moravia.
He claims that when he began uncovering stuff a little too close to
the  government of Petr Pitthart (then premier of the Czech republic)
and even close to Havel's circle, he was threatened and intimidated.
Allegedly,  he was to be arrested himself and he says he thinks he
would have been disposed of.  He fled to Switzerland and was granted
asylum.  Switzerland has no treaty of extradition with the CSFR, so
even if he faced common criminal charges he could not be sent back --
although Switzerland has been known to refuse people entry if it feels
they do not merit asylum.
  This is what I remember of the case from 1991.  I don't know the
upshot of it all.  I presume Zak is living happily ever after.

Subject:      Books

I just came across two excellent books that might be of interest:

Johnson, Paul: Modern Times--from the Twenties to the Nineties.

History of the 20th century written by a well-known
British author. Interesting chapters on the formation of USSR. Not
just descriptive history, but a lot of interpretation. I understand
it came out in CSFR recently, not sure which language.

Fukuyama, Francis: The End of History and the Last Man.

The author argues that after both communism and fascism have been
discredited as ideologies, liberal democracy remains the only
viable alternative for successfull society. Fascinating reading.
Caused a lot of debate here in the US when it first came out last
year.

Dubcek is seriously injured (several vertebrae broken), but able to speak.
He was visited by Havel in the hospital.
There exists an eyewittness of the accident - the car should slip on water
film. The velocity at the moment of accident is estimated at 200 km/h.
Probably the driver will be accused of causing the accident. He is
in hospital too, with lighter injury, but preliminary refused to state
in evidence.

Subject:      "National Socialist"

 To clarify some facts, if that is still possible: There WAS, for a long
time, a political party in the Czech lands which called itself "narodni
 socialiste", usually translated as "national socialists." Their name predates
by many years Hitler's use of the term "National-Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei"

   Between WW1 and WW2, the Czech "national socialists" were a bourgeois
 liberal party, left of center. That is the party that Benes belonged to for
some time. The members of the party (including many intellectuals) were a main
target of the German Nazis after the occupation of Bohemia-Moravia. Many of its
members were in concentration camps for the duration of the war and many did
not survive. After WW2, the Czech "national socialists" formed, together with
the members of the People's Party  ("lidova strana" = Christian Democrats, the
Chairman was Msgn. Sramek, a Catholic priest) the nucleus of the Czech
opposition to the Communists. The ministers of the Nat. Socialists and the
Poeple's Party (as well as the Slovak Dem. Party) resigned from the government
in February 1948, precipitating the crises that led to the Communist coup.

  Of course, the term "narodni socialiste" is an unfortunate one even if the
Czech party holds a respectable copyright to the name.  That does not mean,
however, that anyone should use the coincidence of the names to equal Benes
with Hitler. That is just simple demagoguery which bodes ill for the Slovak
World Congress and its officers.

  BTW, I was not a "narodni socialista" but rather a member of the Christian
Democratic party which was in friendly competition with them. Neverthelss, they
deserve a fair shake.

  Too bad that things have gotten to this level on this list when a name
coincidence becomes the hallmark of ignorance.

Sincerely, H.K.

I recall that someone said recently that the unemployment rate in
Slovakia was 11% and that this was the highest rate in Europe, or
among the highest rates, I don't recall the exact wording.
WSJ 9/8/92 p. A17 reports that it is over 17% in Ireland; also,
I understand it is also around 17% in Portugal.

This is not to say that 11% isn't high, but it would have to climb up
another 50% to start reaching the levels of the highest rates of
unemployment in Europe.

	1.  Do you hand out authorization cards or just use one password?

	2.  Do you have policies on the number of searches/cards you
