[comp.sys.apollo] COMP in /usr/new/mh a little confused

Hello:

We have just received FCS sr10.2 and it seems much more sain
than SR10.1 (my opinion after 1 week only). I have found 1
quite interesting "feature" of the MH package included 
under the /usr/new directory.

If you try to create a message using COMP the default editor
under SR10.1 was /usr/apollo/bin/eddm. I recall this not
working too well with machines that have BSD4.3 ONLY installed
(such as all of our machines). I submitted an APR on this and
they have changed this under SR10.2.

Now if you try to use COMP under SR10.2 you get the following
message

comp
cannot find /usr/bin/ex

/usr/bin/ex ? Funny on my system it is under /usr/ucb/ex, maybe
in a SYSV environment this works, but not in a BSD only system!

I have resubmitted an APR on this (again, chuckle ;-) ).

Be Seeing You,
Alan
