Discovered that the people who installed SE forgot to consult the manuals, assuming I suppose that software is installed on Unix as it is on Dos: Just copy the files and run Install at the dos prompt. - Not hardly! Make sure to follow the good advice in the manuals for installing, and SE should run just fine. Hope this helps. ********************************* Nick Nobbe, Library of Congress NLS/BPH mail: nnob@loc.gov *********************************
