What were you trying to do?
	Run techinfo.

What's wrong:
	Lookie here:

Paddington 32% /afs/athena.mit.edu/software/techinfo/arch/sgi_52/bin/xtechinfo
Wcl Error: WcWidgetCreation(xtechinfo) - Failed 
    Problem: No children could be created from Xrm database.
    Possible: Resource file not found 
                perhaps XENVIRONMENT is not set, 
                or XAPPLRESDIR not terminated with '/' 
    Possible: top level widget in resource file not named 'xtechinfo'

What should have happened:
	it should have run?

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Truth in advertising requires that I say that I'm not running
	the "Athena" SGI release, though I am running 5.2 and things
	do seem to work in general.

	A simple answer like, "if you were running the Athena release,
	this would work because... (insert credible explanation)" if
	that's really the case.

	Please don't tell me to look it up from the WWW.  I'll use
	telnet for now.
