[HECnet] RSTS/E started emitting "?EVTLOG (BLDNIC) -- %Integer error" messages

[Thomas DeBellis]

I'm not sure I follow you.  The only DEC supplied system program I can 
think of in Tops-20 that bulk inputs a pre-compiled binary is SETHOS, 
which it does to (significantly) speed boot up.  The only other examples 
I can think of were /non/-DEC developed software: the EXEC, the mailer 
and (Columbia) LPTSPL.

None of the Tops-10 CUSP's that I've updated do this.

I'm forgetting something obvious, right?
