So, assuming the floppy is mounted at /floppy and assuming (for the sake of discussion) that the CX files are in /floppy/cx and the contest log will be in /floppy/iaru-2002, then CX_HOME could be set as follows: export CX_HOME=/floppy/cx Our contester would start cx from /floppy/iaru-2002 and whatever files are not found in /floppy/cx would default to those found in /usr/share/cx Pros, cons? 73, de Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | "We have awakened a Internet | n0nb@networksplus.net | sleeping giant and Location | Bremen, Kansas USA EM19ov | have instilled in him Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | a terrible resolve". http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | - Admiral Yamomoto
