please see the correspondence below. comp and repl simply would not
start, so i had to ctrl-z, and logout and then login to a different
computer that was running unix, instead of ziani.mit.edu which
is running the linux/athena update that is apparently supported by is now.

The correct way to report bugs of this nature is to run the "sendbug"
command, or to send mail to bugs@mit.edu. In this case I'm forwarding
your mail there now, so you don't need to bother reporting the problem
again. However, it would be helpful if you could reply, letting them
know how comp failed before you added the lines below.
