I just tried running /usr/sipb/vaxbin/edsc, and it works fine. Are you
sure that was the edsc that you ran?
Yes, I am. Did you try running it with the "meeting file from hell",
namely mine?
(actually, isn't edsc supposed to print ; and some banner first? well,
it's just exiting here, exit status seems to be 0. In other words, it
doesn't work... specifically, on tsx-11, a 7.4B vax.)
No, edsc only prints the banner in response to the command (gpv) --- get
protocol version.

Ok, it does react to gpv. When I run it under the shell (rather than
an emacs shell window) I now get:
tsx-11+% /usr/sipb/vaxbin/edsc
(gpv)
(23 "(Thu May 31 00:37:19 EDT 1990) tytso@binkley:/mit/discuss/vax/edsc")
(gml)
Broken pipe
Exit 141
Ken pointed out that since I'm on tsx, this could mean a disserve
problem (three "local" meetings.) strings shows:
tsx-11+% strings - /usr/sipb/vaxbin/edsc | grep diss
/usr/local/disserve
tsx-11+% ls -l /usr/local/disserve
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 24 Jul 25 1991 /usr/local/disserve@ -> /usr/athena/etc/disserve
tsx-11+% ls -l /usr/athena/etc/disserve
-rwsr-xr-x 1 discuss wheel 80896 May 6 10:00 /usr/athena/etc/disserve*
This would imply that perhaps there is some incompatibility or bug in
the athena disserve, in 7.4B? I'll try narrowing it down further
experimentally.
