What were you trying to do?
psgrind -W ~/.login
What's wrong:
psdit: trouble reading /usr/lib/font/Helvetica/devpsc/DESC.out
psdit: No such file or directory
What should have happened:
1) The DESC.out file is too short (Ezra and I determined this
after looking at the sources for psdit. it shouldn't be.
2) The error is wrong; the sources to psdit assume that if the
read doesn't get as many characters as it's supposed to,
there was an error reading the file, when in fact there
isn't going to be any error if the file was simply too
short.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/source/third/common/transcript-v2.1/src/{psdit.c,dev.h}
