Bob,

I don't know what the specific problems are with the TOP programs.  As I said,
some work just fine - others don't (and of course, those are the ones for which
we don't have source code).  It may be as simple as files missing or in the
wrong place - it may be that the version of 'cio' they're using is different -
and it may be ???.  The most common errors I remember are 208 - illegal service
request, 216 - pathname not found and 227 - illegal trap code.  There may've
been some other errors, but I don't remember them. One user, on a 68030 system,
can't change users' passwords - otherwise the mmon, logon, password, etc.
programs work fine for him.  (That suite of programs works just fine for me.) 
Another user on this forum (I think it's Mark Wuest) reported some other
problems (I don't remember the details). I've sent messages and called them
(TOP) regarding these problems - the answer has always been that they will look
into them when they have time. So, I'm not really of much help to you.  (We do
have to understand TOP's problem, they've contributed over 30 MBytes of code
that I know of to the public domain and supporting that much code is a lot of
work.  They have to eat, too.)
