System name:		megara.mit.edu
Type and version:	IP22 8.2.13 (with mkserv)
Display type:		GR3-XZ

What were you trying to do?
	the fifth week flag program (a script) invokes pgp

What's wrong:
	it failed to run, complaining that hosttype was not set.

What should have happened:
	I believe hosttype was removed because it seemed to be unused?
	I worked around the problem easily, just setenv hosttype sgi
	but thought I would mention that something seemed to use it. 

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
