System name:		SPLAT
Type and version:	POWER 7.3L
Display type:		colorgda

What were you trying to do?
	decrypt a file encrypted with the UNIX crypt(1) command.

What's wrong:
	/usr/athena/bin/crypt is not installed on the RS/6000.

What should have happened:
	
	We decided to provide crypt with ULTRIX 4.2, since DEC decided
to remove it.  If crypt is going to be in /usr/athena/bin on that
machine, effectively making it part of the layered Athena Computing
Enviroment, then either binaries or symlinks should be installed for
crypt on all of the Athena platforms.  I should not have to log into
another machine in order to use crypt. 

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	crypt(1)
