  I noticed a few months ago that "graph" does not work on our
Sun 4/280 running 4.0.  (It has since gotten the 4.0.1 fixes,
but I haven't tried it again since then).
  I compared the output of "graph" on the sun-4 to the output
from a sun-3, and it seems like the 4 just puts a header and
a tail on the output, but with nothing in between.  I didn't
study it extensively, however; I just always pop my stuff
over to a Sun-3 to "graph" it.  (Inconvenient, yes, but tolerable).

  I don't know if the "plot" commands (i.e. "crtplot", etc) have
any trouble.

  Has anyone else noticed this problem with "graph" under 4.0?  Or
is it already common knowledge?
