       Hi,

       Thanks for reporting this; the problem is that dvi2tty is
hardcoding /usr/ucb/more as a path to a pager program in the event that
the $PAGER environment variable isn't set in the environment of the
user running the program.  A quick work around for you is to put the
line:

setenv PAGER more 

in your .environment file.  You'll need to log out and back in again for
this to take effect.

       The program should have a fallback pager program that exists on
modern Athena platforms; it will need to be recompiled for this to
happen.  We'll do this over the next couple of days and send you mail
when the problem is fixed.

       Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

Garry
For the SIPB
