The things themselves, so the perps try to bring over their own versions in
hope of getting around the "crippled" Grex versions.  Except that the Grex
versions are not actually crippled, it's the network side that's blocked.

OK.  I knew that there were some things not allowed, and properly blocked ;)
but your comments opened the possibility that large compiles, themselves, were
unwelcome.  (I've never written a really large program, so I don't really know
what troubles they would cause other users.)

The larger a single file, the larger the symbol table must be
to compile it.  Breaking the project into many files that are
careful about using static whenever possible would greatly
reduce the compilation load.

Earlier today I was having trouble logging in with backtalk.  Telnet 
worked fine ... It seems to be fixed now.

Dialing in tonight I got queue-droppings before I could log in.
Only one level deep, but that's just *wrong*.

Has anyone else been getting incessant chat requests from smart007
and if so can this account be cancelled?  (I will put this login
on my don't acceptlist now).

Accounts are not cancelled on Grex.  It does no good with an open system. 
Another account can just be taken out and we are running out of usable UIDs.

I can't imagine Grex cancelling an account because of annoying behavior!
None of us would be left except the last-standing staff member.

I don't see that there should even be a problem with smart007, since
you can block anyone from chat requests.

I did that, but first I had to waste time dealing with a chat request every
3 second for about 20 minutes while in themiddle of another chat.

It takes less than half a minute to add someone to your .nowrite file, 
and even less if you write a simple shell script to do it.

You would not have had to waste 20 minutes if you had excused yourself
from that chat and taken care of the problem.

  She would not have to have done anything if an obnoxious user hadn't
  accosted her.  keesan is not the villain here..

To put this in absolutist perspective, the effort keesan put into 
complaining about this abuser is far beyond what would have been required 
for her to eliminate the problem he represented to her.

Sindi, did you tell the person that you did not want to chat right now?  If
you did and s/he persisted than complaining is appropriate.  If you did not,
how is the person supposed to know?  Granted the requests should have stopped
after 2-4, but maybe the person is clueless to how it all works.

#205> Yes, but it wouldn't have gotten her nearly the attention.
#204> Hear, hear.

Is there some way to send a telegram while I am chatting with someone else?
The people I chat with often have trouble understanding English and this
particular one would have been offended if I tried to hang up to do so, or
change my plan, so I just kept hitting Ctl-L every time the chat request
scrambled the screen (every few seconds).  (It took about 20 minutes to say
goodbye after that, he wanted to chat for just another 30 min, but I finally
promised to be online Friday at noon - it is hard to find someone to chat with
you in your own language.)  After changing my write permissions, I sent a
short and polite letter to smart007 explaining what had happened and
suggesting that they request a chat only once, and first do a who to find out
what the other person is doing at the moment.  Did not hear back.

        I keep chats and writes off until I am done with other
things and are ready to recieve them.

I have had a few chatters get offended when they tried to reach me and I was
in Pine (cannot get chat requests while in Pine).  One clever guy sent me an
email that he was online.
Can you shell out of chat?

^Z works with talk.  use "fg" to get back to it.
        !man tcsh
for more info on fg, ^Z, and all that.
chat/write support ! escapes, and I think it's possible to suspend them too.
