I am using a DS5000/200PX running Ultrix 4.1. When I execute the MH program /usr/new/lib/mh/slocal, I get a core dump. Am I doing something stupid, or is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?

At least, I find that the same thing happens when I try it. The only workaround I've found is to ignore slocal altogether. Instead, the pipe capability of .forward can be used for the same purpose. If this is a bug, I certainly hope it will be fixed in 4.2! - Steven ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven Winikoff smw@alcor.concordia.ca Software Analyst Dept. of Computing services Concordia University voice: (514) 848-7619 Montreal, Quebec, Canada (10:00-18:00 EST)

You can also upgrade the release of mh on your system by using anonymous ftp to get MH 6.7.1 from ics.uci.edu (128.195.1.1). While we don't use slocal, we do make heavy use of mh on our DECstations and Suns.
