Observers tonight: If this gets in you log, please delete. I was testing. --Pete This is a test of writing using logTool from chant.apo.nmsu.edu, with chant running KDE (KDE2?). logTool started from v3_53_7 of sop. Seems to keep up with typing fine here.

Does not have line wrapping yet. 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 The window is exactly 80 characters wide. Can I cut and paste from other windows: prn:sdsshost:~/ > sop Switching umask from 02 to 002 dscRun using system v14_36 Executing commands in /p/dervish/v7_16/etc/dervishStartup.tcl: Executing commands in /p/astrotools/v5_3/etc/astrotoolsStartup.tcl astroda OAC version v14_36 Using PT-VME940 link to crate 4, ICC 0 Executing commands in /p/astroda/v14_36/etc/dscOAC.tcl: ICC version v14_36 is running as a spectro Executing commands in /p/ssc/v4_0a/etc/sscStartup.tcl: Executing commands in /p/iop/v3_53_7/etc/sop/sopStartup.tcl: /p/iop/v3_53_7/params/firmPatch.tcl IOP_DIR=/p/iop/v3_53_7 IOP_VERSION=NOCVS:v3_53_7:/p/iop/v3_53_7 MCP_VERSION=v5_3_1 ================================================================== To start the (only) server shell, type startServer [options] To start the interlocks display, type startInterlocks To start watching the murmur log, type startMurmur ================================================================== !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
