OK.  In my current installation, it's /usr/local/bin/applix.  I installed
from the CD the Walnut Creek/BSDi shipped me (Applixware Office for FreeBSD
v5.0).

I just tried to install it from scratch on a new machine running
4.2-RELEASE.

If I cd to /cdrom/Applix5 and run ./install, I'm not offered a choice
concerning where to install -- it goes under /usr/local.

I just tried `pkg_add -v -p /opt applix-5.0.tgz'.  It then put things under
/opt, but /opt/bin/applix was the file I listed above with the hardcoded
"/usr/local/applix".  When I changed it to "/opt/applix" and tried to run
it, I got 

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libstdc++.so.2" not found
/prog/applix/axdata/axmain: Operation timed out

Since there's not a libstdc* of any sort under /opt/applix, either
something didn't get installed correctly or applix was compiled using an
older version of the shared library.

At this point, I have some Real Work to do.  If there's something else
you'd like me to look at, let me know.  It may take me a few hours,
though.
