I am writing in response to your note to hotline:

I am the person who compiled and tested Andrew on All supported Athena
platforms:

Vaxstation II
Vaxstation 2000
Vaxstation 3100
IBM RTPC
Decstation 3000
IBM RS/6000

If ez is not working for you on an RT, then there is something
unintentionally wrong.

In order for me to help you, I need more information (because ez works
just fine for me on the RT in my office, and I need to know what is
different about how you and I use ez.)

Would you please log onto an RT, and try to run ez.

Tell me (down to every mouse click and keypress) what you type, and what
the machine types back so that I can know exactly what is failing and so
I can do exactly the same thing you do so I can get it to fail for me.

I look forward to your reply.

I am sorry you were inconvenienced by ez not working for you.
