You have both just fallen prey to the `there is only one Unix'
fallacy.  It is fairly clear from john@sol1's message that he is
working with 4.1BSD or V7 or a V7-variant other than System III or
System V (or System V release X version Y variant Q modified by L,
etc.).  It is also clear from the strings in `/etc/gettydefs' that
Cherry.PASA@Xerox is dealing with System III or System V, et alia.

Once again, it is time to remind people to tack on the appropriate
Unix variant for most if not all questions about specific programs.
Do not be ashamed, for I dare say that everyone has forgotten this
at least once.

(Unfortunately, I cannot answer john@sol1 as we are running 4.3BSD.
Sorry about that.)
