- I have done this and they DO NOT compile. I would like a listing of where
- your expecting things to be so I can at least put them there. Just saying
- edit this and that file to your configuration is no good, as some (most)
- of us just have the standard system as delivered by HP. what we are asking
- is WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO PUT THE VARIOUS THINGS - RATHER THEN GUESSING.

- I suggest that you take one of you new students and give him a virgin HP
- machine and let him try to get your stuff running. Then you will have
- some idea of what a great many of us are facing.
-
- Don't get the idea that I am against what you are doing, I think it is
- the greatest. However, I just don't think that you get basic enough to
- help the majority of new Unix and HP folks that want to use your stuff.
-
- Please, keep up the great work....

- Thanks, Vic
