System name:		major
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.7P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
	Run netscape from the "infoagents" locker

What's wrong:
	Well, I have figured out that it's not available for the 
	DECstation, but instead of telling me that, it tells me
	it's not in my path.  Something must be misconfigured someplace.
 	If I actually follow all the symlinks and stuff, and go to
	the magic correct directory and run the netscape script
	there -- to be precise, it's

	/afs/athena.mit.edu/software/infoagents/arch/share/bin/netscape

	then, and only then, do I get the message

	Netscape is unavailable on this ULTRIX workstation. Try Mosaic.


What should have happened:
	I should get the nice message, not something telling me it's not in
	my path.
	
	This is quite repeatable, and I don't believe I have anything
	particularly odd about my dotfiles or anything.  

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
