System name:		opus
Type and version:	IP22 8.0D
Display type:		GR3-XZ

What were you trying to do?
	dump some discuss transactions to a file

What's wrong:
	dsgrep misformats its output when you aren't sending to stdout:

RIGHT:

	Why is the repeat rate on the suns that are running 8.0 not 30 cps like
	it should be?  The slowness is REALLY annoying...

WRONG: (note how all the headers/footers appear at the end)

What should have happened:
	The two commands should have given the same output. More
	usefully, redirecting the output to a file should have
	produced a file where I could distinguish the transactions
	instead of a useless mass of text.

	It works this way on suns (and probably everything else?) too.
