System name: podge
Type and version: KN01 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PM-MONO
What were you trying to do?
Convert a xbitmap into Postscript using xbmtopbm and pgmtops
The command was:
xbmtopbm ~/bitmaps/Frodo | pgmtops -scale 1 > ~/bitmaps/test.PS
What's wrong:
When I try this on the decmips, I get:
podge (205) :~/bitmaps>xbmtopbm Frodo | pgmtops -scale 1 > test.PS
xbmtopbm: write error
pgmtops: EOF / read error
However, when I telneted to a vax and tried it there, it worked fine.
So the decmips executable is bad.
What should have happened:
The program should have worked on the decmips
