Orion,
Thanks! That fixed my LDList problem right away. I as assuming it was some
simple newbie kind-of problem. So was this in the book and I just missed it? I
went back through that section (Chapter 2) and didn't see anything about setting
an environment variable.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
If anyone has any good ideas on the LDLite/VEC issue I'd appreciate any help on
that too!
Thanks,
Kim

| (...) It's not in the book. The programs covered in the book set this environmental varible automatically so I assume it wasn't worth mentioning. LDList, however, is not covered in the book and doesn't automatically set this varible. -Orion (23 years ago, 19-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad)
