What were you trying to do?
Run prochart
What's wrong:
The error message is wrong. I understand that I can't run
prochart on an RT (I didn't know that before), but the error says:
>> This program is only available for the microvax workstations.
>> If you wish to use prochart, please log into a microvax to
>> run it.
Only on microvax, huh? So I can't log into a VS3100 to use it?
By the way:
<20> steve-dallas:~> ls -hld /mit/prochart/
drwxr-xr-x 4 #18023 512 Sep 7 1988 /mit/prochart//
<21> steve-dallas:~> hesinfo 18023 uid
<22> steve-dallas:~>
the locker is owned by a non-existent uid :-)
What should have happened:
The error message should be changed to somethign like:
>> This program is only available on DEC VAX workstations. Please log
>> into a VAX if you wish to use prochart.
/mit/prochart/prochart is a shell script, so this should be really
easy to fix.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
none.
