Hi! You had asked the following about EZ, which you were using on
W20-575-105 (the test-vax in the student center):
"The "set printer" command has changed to "printer setup" and will
not work additionally, the preview window will not come up also I
have version 7.0 ATK 14.2 whereas my friend has ATK 1.1"
The machine you were working on at the time is a tester's workstation,
running the upcoming release of Athena. So yes, ez *had* changed on
that particular workstation.
Although the Andrew locker was attached on your worksttaion, "where
ez" returned: /usr/andrew/bin/ez, indicating that the problem might
concern the new version of ez, or the way it interacts with your login
session.
If you go to a non-test workstation (ie, almost any other workstation
on campus) you should have no further problems.
Also, I'm cc'ing this letter to "testers", which is the group
responsible for rooting out bugs in the test release before it turns
into the Athena release. They'll work on solving this problem before
the new version of ez is what you get on *every* athena workstation.
Thanks for reporting this problem to olc! And I'm sorry for any
inconvenience this may have caused you.
