Maybe Version 5 different? Yes, it's definitely different. No matter what you say when installing, `applix' is: #!/bin/sh APPLIX_HOME="/usr/local/applix" export APPLIX_HOME exec $APPLIX_HOME/applix "$@" Note the hard-coded APPLIX_HOME. There were other problems trying to install somewhere else, but I'm afraid I don't remember details. I played with it for a little while, but gave up and left it in /usr/local :(. -- Richard Kuhns rjk@grauel.com PO Box 6249 Tel: (765)477-6000 \ 100 Sawmill Road x319 Lafayette, IN 47903 (800)489-4891 / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
