Sorry folks ! The rcp "bug" I reported for HP-UX 7.0 isn't a bug, it's
a "feature". I finally RTFM'ed for 7.0 (I mistakenly read the 6.5 manuals !)
and realised that the syntax has, very annoyingly I might add, changed
in 7.0.

HP-UX 6.5:       rcp host.username:filename filename

HP-UX 7.0:       rcp username@host:filename filename

This is such a significant change that I've added it to our /usr/news
section to warn users about it. I expect I'll get flamed for my original
posting, but I'm only human (I think....) !

P.S. I'm still interested in monitor for 7.0 on Series 300 machines though..
