  Modified:    bin/stty  stty.c
  Log:
  stty fails with a non-obvious error message if it's run on a non-tty
  stream, such as a rsh or vi pipeline.
  
  The error message is:
  stty: TIOCGETD: Operation not supported
  
  It's immediately obvious to the knowledgable hacker type, but not
  exactly comforting to the user who's not native to unix.  It's
  especially confusing if there's a stty command in their .cshrc and
  it's showing up on rsh output.
  
  (Fixes PR #bin/573)
