What were you trying to do?
Get athdir information for a vax for a locker with no vax
binaries.
What's wrong:
Specifying a machtype does not work:
I said (on a sun):
(unset ATHENA_SYS_COMPAT ; athdir -s vax_bsd43 -m vax -p /mit/gnu -t bin)
Athdir said:
/mit/gnu/sun4bin
On the other hand, the sipb locker has a vax directory, so when I say:
(unset ATHENA_SYS_COMPAT ; athdir -s vax_bsd43 -m vax -p /mit/sipb -t bin)
It gets the right answer:
/mit/sipb/arch/vax_bsd43/bin
What should have happened:
It should have failed if there is no valid directory.
