in D3/linux it just says 'done' and then skips a line

Looks to me like someone has been poking around with one of the favourite
idle pastimes of changing the standard error messages (in the file ERRMSG).
The commonest was to change the error message 3 (general "I don't
understand" response of the command shell) from "Verb?" to something
like "Oi! Muppet!"

Or you could be the idiotic Unidata systems programmer who changed
Pick's 201 (File missing) to "Common Size Mismatch". Great fun when
you're converting to UD and a file's missing.

And I second the "old!," even if true.

Is there anyone out there who still has an old system called PICK who may be
able to anser this. When running an old program re-compiled using >BASIC
SPROGS STOCKX we get the message "Variable unassigned a value 3 used". The
program used to use zero. What could have changed I wondered lonely as a
cloud.

One more thing. I may be wrong, but I *think* the error message number
you want is 251, or B251. (Not that I've seen a lot of unassigned
variable errors in my time, you inderstand. Oh no. Never happened to
me. No, no, no... Harrumpf.)

woo aren't you fucking clever

Try message B10 in ERRMSG

OK. So what's 251, then? Now it's bugging me.

does it matter? it's just a fucking number
