I kind of like the solution of putting the binaries in a different directory. This is also a little irritating, since users have to add an additional directory to their PATH, but they only have to do that once and it works consistently going forward, and they can still use the other program. It's not totally unheard of to have to modify PATH to use a package, particularly one that wants to use a bunch of very generic command names. That was always the official way to use MH, for example.
Yes. Is "environment-modules" well-known these days? I'm surprised not to see it mentioned more often. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
