no: i tried your line (below) & got "command not found".

 uname -a  gives IRIX 5.3, which i already mentioned in this thread.

it takes  15 min  to configure & make each version: i'ld rather avoid it.

BTW what does  /tmp/foo  do?  foo  isn't a real file, surely?

i suspect there is some other trace software on this system:
can anyone suggest other names to try?
meanwhile, i'll have a look at CHANGES.
oh yes, how about Lynx debug?  should i recompile with that?
