[FreeVMS] New release 0.2.9

[LiteStar numnums]

I think it may be easier on you if you use something like qemu: not only
would not really need another machine, you can
switch back and forth betwixt FreeVMS and documentation. Besides, I'm not
sure how ready FreeVMS is to go on _most_
actual hardware; someone else on the list would be better equiped to answer
that.

Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes
without saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of
crisis and a final decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is
nothing final about it. Thus God
is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something --
and here we recognize the traditional
forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity
for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
which would debase the entire value of being born."
-- Albert Camus, L'Homme révolté
