This is a bug in 7.1 and 7.2, although it has real implications for
7.2, so I'm sending it to bugs and testers. The error occurs on vax,
rt, and mips.
System name: podge
Type and version: KN01 7.2E (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PM-MONO
What were you trying to do?
use the help selection from the 7.2 login application
What's wrong:
olc assumes you have attach in your path. Simulate in your favorite
xterm with:
% ( set path= ( ) ; /usr/athena/olh -tty )
now, select 16, 4, 21. You will get an error from the system about
attach not being found. Also, the message is formatted badly.
After selecting 21, I get:
Attaching "olc-stock". Please wait.sh: attach: not found
olh_ascii: attach: Bad arguments loading /mit/olc-stock/stock_answers/workstations Number:
on the bottom of my screen. This means that olc stock answers aren't
available.
What should have happened:
olh shouldn't assume things about the path. It should append
a standard athena path to the end of the user's path.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
