- IBM's AIX comes with a 'help' command on an RS/6000. If I add the
- binary Andrew help directory before the system directories in my PATH
- variable, I seem to be getting a strange behavor for some commands. If
- I add the Andrew help directory after the system directories I get
- the (useless) IBM help stuff.
-
- I am not supposed to delete the IBM help stuff on our systems. I
- tried to rename the Andrew 'help' without success:
-
- [/data/xccbond/Bin] 3009> ls -alF H*
- lrwxrwxrwx 1 dunkel staff 4 Jul 10 16:37 Help@ -> help*
- [/data/xccbond/Bin] 3010> Help
- runapp: There is no known application or datatype called Help.
- [/data/xccbond/Bin] 3011> help
- Starting help (Version 7.2, ATK 5.1); please wait...
-
- Is there a solution for the name conflict of IBM help and
- Andrew help?
