System name:		ulm-student.mit.edu
Type and version:	Ultra-5_10 9.2.21 (with mkserv)
Display type:		m

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
	running "enscript --help-pretty-print" to get documentation
	for enscript's -E pretty printing option.

What's wrong:
       I get the following message:
       /mit/gnu/arch/i386_linux22/gbin/states: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected

What should have happened:
	I should have gotten a list like this:

	Highlighting is supported for the following languages and file formats:
	Name: ada
	Description: Ada95 programming language.
	Author: Rolf Ebert <ebert@waporo.muc.de>
	Name: asm
	Description: Assembler listings.
	Author: Markku Rossi <mtr@iki.fi>
	Name: awk
	Description: AWK programming language.
	Author: Juergen Kahrs <Juergen.Kahrs@t-online.de>

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I noticed the "i386_linux22" in the path, so I found out that
	the configuration file for enscript
	(/mit/gnu/etc/enscript.cfg) contains:

	# Path for the states program.
	StatesPath: /mit/gnu/arch/i386_linux22/gbin/states

	I copied the file to $HOME/.enscriptrc, and changed this to:

	StatesPath: /mit/gnu/arch/sun4x_56/gbin/states

	This works, but will break when I sit on a Linux machine. I
	tried using arch/$ATHENA_SYS, but then I get

	sh: /mit/gnu/arch/sun4x_59/gbin/states: not found

	because the file is only found on the sun4x_56
	directory. Maybe you could make adequate symlinks and change
	the configuration file to use $ATHENA_SYS.
