This is amazing...I've seen this problem before! But, alas, whatever it
is it's not an IDL problem. I'd see it happen ("Bleah is not a
typewriter) during execution of my startup scripts .login and .cshrc. I
don't know what it is that sets it off, but it's not unique to IDL.

BTW it was on a DEC Alpha running 3.0.


Happy Trails,

Brian

Hi there �������,

I think someone's pulling your leg!

I have never seen anything like this before. Unless your Fortran comiler
was written by a comedian, I would suggest that sombodys winding you up!

The only place this night have been put is in the code for your
application (assuming you didn't write it yourself). Check for on_error,
on_ioerror or catch calls and see what routine's being called (or do a
grep through the source durectories for the message).

Cheers,

Dave.
