Funny messages from VMS aren't unusual when using Eunice. The
normal exit status for processes in VMS is 1, as opposed to Unix'
0. Of course, under Unix the exit status is rarely checked. If
the last command you executed in a Eunice shell bombed out with a
strange error code, and you dropped into VMS, or if you were
running one of your programs directly under VMS, VMS tends to
notice that the exit status isn't 1, but isn't an error code it
recognizes. Thus the "%NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 00000002."
I tend to get "%NONAME-W-NOMSG, Message number 00000000." As I
recall, the 1 bit is success, the 2 bit is error, and neither is a
warning.
