In article <9105070133.AA01943@life.ai.mit.edu> NDAVIS@INTELLICORP.COM (Nils Davis) writes: I get this "`tty`: Ambiguous" error now and then, ... As I wrote this, I tried an experiment, and set shell-file-name to /bin/sh. Now things work. Is this just a normal brokenness of csh, or is there something else I can do to make it work with csh? Those two together suggest that the problem is somewhere in your ~/.cshrc, perhaps a call to tty or stty. But I don't recognize the "Ambiguous" message, so I don't know quite what the actual problem is. Jack Repenning 9U-530 jackr@wpd.sgi.com Silicon Graphics, Inc.
