System name:		hal-2000
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2R
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	ps aux

What's wrong:
	The man page says that the `u' flag will print the NICE (NI)
	field:

     u    A user oriented output is produced.  This includes
          fields USER, %CPU, NICE, SIZE, and RSS as described
          below.

	It doesn't.  In fact, only the `l' option will print it, but you
	can't specify both `l' and `u' anyway, since they are different
	output formats. 

	I tried this on VAX, RT, and DECMIPS.  

What should have happened:
	The man page should be changed to conform to the program.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	ps(1)
