System: NetBSD crasse.smd.ebone.net 1.4J NetBSD 1.4J (SMDHOME) #1: Fri Aug 13 00:17:56 CEST 1999 smd@crasse.smd.ebone.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SMDHOME i386


>Description:

The error message for acronyms that aren't in the database should be tweaked.
Also, the error message should be emitted to stderr not stdout.

	% /usr/games/wtf NSA
	Gee...  I don't know what NSA means...

(this is echoed on stdout)

should be

	% /usr/games/wtf NSA
	NSA: No such acronym.

instead of the current error report.

Also compare:

: sean.ebone.net ; wtf NSA > /dev/null
: sean.ebone.net ;

versus

: sean.ebone.net ; ./wtf NSA > /dev/null
NSA: No such acronym.
: sean.ebone.net ;

>How-To-Repeat:

	% /usr/games/wtf <some nonexistent acronym>

>Fix:

in directory /usr/src/games/wtf:
