This bug has caused us real headaches here while trying to port the functional language `ml' (which is partially written in Pascal) to A/UX. Knowing the cause and a suitable work-around will help us greatly. If you could mail/post the shell script it would be further appreciated. I agree that Apple ought to publish a known bug list for A/UX. It is a most frustrating exercise to track down Pascal syntax errors through machine crashes! It would be nice to be alerted to other potential problem areas. Drew Corrigan. -- Drew Corrigan Department of Computer Science, Australian National University.
