*slaps forehead*

JAN, OOOHHH, i was confused by the three MMMs for month, and i was trying
to do 22-001-2001 instead of 22-JAN-2001

ah ha!!

ok, not knowing anything about VMS, what's all this mean? (it's long)

also,

Username: 

can i "boot into single user mode" to get around this?  i'll search around
for a bit, i just got it past the part where it asked me wha day it is. :)

thanks,

-brian
