Sorry, but I don't agree with you. I want to place xwisp2 into the
/usr/local/bin directory. I'm not going to place xwisp2.cfg in the same
directory. It's not a binary, so I think it should go into
/usr/local/share. I know that about the environment variable, but don't
think of that as a good solution. Anybody?
Ezra.
