I amD even willing to take "ANY NO.OF POLYGRAPH TESTS" to prove whatever I- said is true and a fact, about my background.   F FBI has been MENTALLY TORTURING me with 24X7 surveillance for the lastC three years inside and outside my apartment with video surveillance A devices and motion sensors around my apartment, my phone has been C tapped, my web surfing is being monitored all the time for the last @ three years, my emails are being monitored, gps vehicle trackingF devices and voice amplification devices have been placed in my car andF undercover FBI agents have followed me to restaurants, grocery stores,D malls, movie theatres, banks and even barber shops etc and forced meF to live like an animal and a virtual prisoner for three years. FBI hasC interfered in my personal life for no reason and jeopardized my job D opportunities. FBI is obsessed with me and has ruined, destroyed andF wrecked my life for the last three years and destroyed my physical and mental health.  B The SADISTIC FBI agents are NOT charging me, NOT letting me find aC job, NOT letting me have a normal life, NOT letting me have even an C IOTA of PRIVACY and mentally TORTURING and TERRORIZING me with 24X7 @ surveillance, making 2000 UNSOLICITED phone calls to my unlisted> phone#s, entering my apartment ILLEGALLY and STEALING personalD belongings when I am not home, watching me real time live with videoF surveillance devices installed in my bedroom, living room, kitchen andE DISGUSTINGLY even in my rest room and humiliating and dehumanizing me C and BLATANTLY violating my civil rights and constitutional right to 0 privacy and ABUSING the "DRACONIAN" PATRIOT ACT.  ? The PERVERTED FBI "ILLEGALLY" installed tens of audio and video B surveillance devices in my apartment, watching me NAKED, REAL TIMEF LIVE 24X7 even in my rest room taking shower, psychoanalyzing each andC every move, each and every word I said, each and every second of my B life, each and every blink of my eyes and each and every comment I posted on the web.  0 Is there a LIMIT to FBI Sadism and Perversion ??   2 If you want to contact me, please send me email atE vickyg456A@notyahoo.com by removing the letter "A" and the word "not"  from the email id.  B I spoke to at least 200 attorneys in both Michigan and Georgia forE legal help but only about two or three attorneys were willing to help = me but asked me to show physical proof of either gps or video C surveillance devices. I did a lot of research and found a couple of C private investigators (who were ex-FBI agents) more importantly who F are knowledgeable about the latest "counter surveillance technologies"C  but they also DECLINED to help me on ONE PRETEXT or the OTHER even / though I was willing to pay for their services.    @ I told these two very HIGHLY QUALIFIED and KNOWLEDGEABLE privateA investigators Niles (Eagle services 866-691-7985) and another PI, F Charles Middlestadt (404-252-5322) of ISC Worldwide Inc in the AtlantaF area who are capable of finding the gps vehicle tracking devices in myC car, that I am NOT A MUSLIM and they have NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT ME E and even offered them to go through my attorney and help me but still > THEY DECLINED to help me OUT OF FEAR that I might be a muslim.   A And eventually I was forced to spend a $1000 as fees out of sheer D desperation knowing fully well that the Private Investigator I hiredC has at best AVERAGE counter surveillance skills to sweep my car for F gps vehicle tracking devices and he did a LOUSY JOB and found nothing, as I expected.  E One attorney in Michigan CHEATED me for a thousand dollars and didn't > do diddly squat and another attorney made me spend a couple of) thousand dollars more, again for nothing.   @ Some attorneys I consulted told me in very CLEAR TERMS, that FBIC agents LIE, MANIPULATE, CHEAT and are VERY UNETHICAL in their MEANS F and METHODS. The attorneys also told me that in order for me to file a? civil lawsuit against the FBI, I have to PROVE the existence of B surveillance devices and also the harassment which will be quite aA tall order for me to do without the help of willing attorneys and F helpful private investigators and EVEN THEN the FBI sadists would have> removed all those surveillance devices by the time the privateB investigators came to sweep my apartment for those devices after aC couple of days since the FBI is listening to each and every goddamn F word that came out of my mouth whether it be in my apartment or when I@ was speaking to these PI's and attorneys from pay phones or cell phones.   E You can investigate these undercover FBI agents yourself and find out E the truth.

The FBI knew that I went to watch Fahrenheit ? 9/11 movie on 6/27/04 because they were watching me looking for D directions and movie times on the internet and also with the help of' gps vehicle tracking devices in my car.   A I spoke to an attorney from a pay phone on 6/24/04 and during the F conversation I asked the attorney if we can get a court order to forceE the Internet Service Provider to reveal if my internet web surfing is @ being monitored by the FBI and lo and behold my internet accountF MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED from the ISP computers on 6/25/04.

I do NOT think thisA is an EXCEPTION and imagine how many ordinary Americans have been 7 suffering this FBI SADISM for years without knowing it.   A Sadistic FBI agents called me at least 30 times repeatedly in the C space of an hour and a half between 7:00 and 8:30 pm on 7/27/04 and B asked for Roberto Fernandez knowing fully well that nobody by thatF name lived in my apartment and infact said "You are so funny" and madeD WEIRD SOUNDS like aye, uye, ick, ihe etc while watching me real timeF live all the time with the video surveillance devices installed in the0 ceiling of my bedroom when I answered the phone.   E FBI agents ILLEGALLY entered my apartment on the night of 8/1/04 when ? I was asleep and stole prepaid calling card pin numbers from my F trouser pockets. One of the prepaid calling cards in my trouser pocketD was called "I Conexion" and the FBI next day called me on 8/2/04 andA made the number 770-242-8775 with caller name "Internet Conexion" F appear on my caller id to TERRORIZE me, that they entered my apartment@ the previous night and stole the prepaid calling numbers from my> trouser pocket. The phone# above is NOT an FBI# but some other company.  F FBI agents ILLEGALLY entered my apartment while I was asleep on 8/2/04D night even though the hotel lock was  bolted from inside, and placed@ the tv remote face down on the end table of my bedroom, folded aD prepaid calling card in my trouser pocket and formed a crease on theD card, removed a library map from the file folder (which was inside aE tote bag) and placed it outside the file folder and unzipped the back E pocket of the tote bag half way down and left it there to torture me.   B FBI agents have been alerting the security departments of WalMart,E Best Buy, JC Penney stores etc with fictitious complaints when I went ? there for shopping, so the security cameras in those stores are E constantly focused on me and watching me while I was in those stores.   F I rented a car on 8/5/04 and stayed in a hotel to get some privacy andE the sadistic FBI agents still tracked me down that night and left the 4 rental car doors unlocked by next morning on 8/6/04.  B I changed the car rented the previous day on 8/6/04 and traveled aD couple of hours on a highway, took an exit, parked my car in a stripD mall parking lot and spent about 20 minutes in a retail store and byB the time I got back to the car, FBI agents followed me and put twoC quarters on a plastic bag containing donuts in the back seat of the C car just to taunt and terrorize me they are still following me even . when I rented a car and drove out of the city.  A To protect myself from these SADISTIC FBI agents entering into my C apartment and stealing things when I am asleep, I locked my bedroom F door from the inside and put a small heavy box and a 19 inch TV on topE of the box against the bed room door on the night of 8/7/04 so if the D FBI agents try to open my bedroom door, the TV will fall off the boxC at the slightest movement of the door, make a big sound and wake me @ up. On the morning of 8/8/04 around 9:00 AM I woke up to a giantB thudding sound of the TV falling on the floor from the box and FBIE agents speeding away by the time I realized what happened. FBI agents E entered my apartment and opened my locked bedroom and pushed the door E at 9:00 AM so hard, they pushed the box a good two feet away from the @ door. The FBI SADISTS are even willing to break my 19 inch TV to TORTURE and TERRORIZE me.   F FBI agents STOLE a pilot pen pack (which I bought from CVS Pharmacy onF 8/8/04) from my car on the night of 8/8/04 and entered my apartment onD 8/9/04 when I was not home from 11 AM - 12 noon and placed the pilotF pen pack under a chair on the carpet in the living room to torture me.  C FBI agents ILLEGALLY entered my apartment on 8/10/04 between 1:00pm F and 1:15 pm (just 15 min) when I went to Publix and turned the TV "On"= in my bedroom by the time I came back to mentally torture me.   E SADISTIC FBI agents ILLEGALLY entered my apartment while I was taking B shower on 8/12/04 around 1:00pm and removed a shaving set scissorsF from the tote bag pocket in my bedroom and placed it on the iron boardB in my bedroom.

So I created brand new email ids and sent this documentC and god knows when the SADISTIC FBI will change the passwords of mye NEW email ids.  B FBI agents ILLEGALLY entered the hotel rooms even when locked fromA inside where I stayed in August and September and installed videohF surveillance devices and moved things around from the tote bag&#8217;sC zipped side pocket into the tote bag to TERRORIZE me that they willrD INVADE my privacy and MENTALLY TORTURE me even when I slept in hotel rooms.  @ To escape this FBI sadism, I went and slept in an acquaintance'sB apartment in the first week of September 2004 and the SADISTIC FBI= agents still came and entered that apartment, installed videotE surveillance devices in the acquaintance's apartment and drew a curvy"< line with a knife on the black colored apartment door of the acquaintance to TERRORIZE me.   B Sometimes when I spoke to my roommate in non-English language, theC psycho-analysis OBSESSED SADISTIC FBI agents called me on the phonerE immediately and said "komo-isthaaaa" in a SARCASTIC way and asked for F Roberto Fernandez knowing fully well that nobody by that name lived in

(In a past life I worked on  RMS-11 for RSX, RSTS and IAS).  F The FNB field is "file name bits".  These are bitflags of the various M components found in the file name strings (FNA and DNA) when they are parsed  L by any RMS file operation producing NAM output.  If a field is missing, the  bit is not set.3  K ESA is the expanded string area for the results of a parse operation.  RSA mM is the resultant string area for the results of an operation which basically 2K uses the ESA fields as output.  For example, you may open or create a file aG using a logical name or relative version number.  The ESA contains the  J properly merged FNA (file name area), DNA (default name area) and process L defaults, the RSA will contain the updated information including the actual K version number of the file and the proper case of the file name (ODS-5) if   case blind matching is enabled.o  L The WILD_UFD bit is an ODS-1 holdover.  On the PDP-11 operating systems the K MFD "[000000]000000.DIR" contained UFD's (user file directories) and there 2G were no subdirectories.  In addition, the directory names were all six 8K character octal values because they were used in a numeric manner.  So the eM UFD 123456.DIR or [123456] is actually [123,456] in octal.  The WILD_GRP and  B WILD_MBR bits indicated [*,456] and [123,*] from the output parse.  M I recall that in the early VMS days a file specification could still contain hK similar syntax, especially [0,0] which was synonymous with [000000], but I h( believe that it doesn't work any longer.   -John    ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 17:54:23 +0100.< From: "Alex Daniels" <AlexNOSPAMTHANKSDaniels@themail.co.uk> Subject: Re: RMS NAM questions6 Message-ID: <4169694e$0$22765$db0fefd9@news.zen.co.uk>  I "John Gemignani, Jr." <john@nfw-invalid.cibtrikker.com> wrote in message i+ news:dIadnQg_eahbwvTcRVn-jA@adelphia.com...s >r <SNIP>G > I recall that in the early VMS days a file specification could still aE > contain similar syntax, especially [0,0] which was synonymous with o: > [000000], but I believe that it doesn't work any longer. >i > -Johns  H It does still work, but some hp and third party command proceedures and I layered products don't cater for it.
