This is in response to problems that users have using andrew on 7.2:
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"
Beth Kevles correctly noticed:
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.
This problem was reported to testers, where epeisach correctly noticed
that it was due to the failure to attach tandrew in place on andrew on a
testers machine.
To review:
Athena 7.2, on testers machines requires attaching the 'tandrew' locker.
When 7.2 goes to the field, the 'andrew' locker will be changed to match
correctly.
tandrew for test releases
andrew for the release everybody is supposed to use
oandrew for the previous release.
Ezra and I have tested the reported failures and determined that they do
not fail if the right locker is attached.
