I don't know about MACH, but this mix of jobs runs fine on an 025 running AIX.

And the ESC key?? The shift and control keys click under ACIS (4.3), but not under AIX. I don't think they clicked under earlier versions of the BSD system. Something is probably wrong with the ACIS tty driver. Chuck Karish ARPA: karish@denali.stanford.edu UUCP: {decvax,hplabs!hpda}!mindcrf!karish USPS: 1825 California St. #5 Mountain View, CA 94041
