I think that Robert made a good guess. Any site that has a c program spawning this could also have custom code testing the terminal type.
What happens if you us /u1/uv/bin/uvsh "COUNT VOC" instead? -Rick -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Robert Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 1:25 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error Are they using terminals or PCs? Are they using an ADDS or WYSE emulation regardless of if they are using terminals or PCs? The reason why I am asking is because I used to have a similiar error at one place where they had WYSE50 terminals. There is a character sequence on those terminals that if printed to the screen causes the terminal to report back the model number of the terminal by entering them into the input buffer. I think it was <ESC> <SPACE> . If you print this sequence to the screen and you have a WYSE50, it would enter a "50" for you at TCL which would then say "50 is not a verb" or something like that. Same goes for WYSE60. This is just a clue. I would rule out control characters at this point. Robert Norman .
