That's what I told Nils last night but apparently it didn't say
anything. He ues a different shell to bash though - tcsh or something
(right, nils?) and I'm suspecting it perhaps directs STDERR somewhere
else - as some of his errors were identical to the ones I had on Solaris
but his output was shorter than mine. Is this a possibility or am I just
mad?

Also, I remember my SOlaris copy had trouble with keyboard input too -
just like with Nils the letters didn't work but the rest did. I can't
remember if that was fixed though - I'll have to go ovr to CS and try it
ot again.
