SUBJECT: Re : mphil machines and &NAME My understanding is that we have a lisp site licence ( for linux ) but it looks like the mphil machines do n't know this &WEBSITE this problem only occurs when lisp is invoked from an emacs shell but in the forwarded message it happens when alisp is invoked from the command prompt , not from within &NAME ? so maybe it is just a case of a missing file . &WEBSITE ? &WEBSITE then making &WEBSITE might be enough . &NAME a try ?
