You need to adjust your dotfiles to reflect the new Athena binary
placement scheme.  Most likely, you have customized your account by
modifying your .cshrc file so that it no longer reads $initdir/cshrc.
This would result in you not having the ATHENA_SYS environment
variable set.  The frame locker depends on you having ATHENA_SYS set
to start up Framemaker.

It is not recommended that you modify your .cshrc file in order to
customize your account, unless you are prepared to keep up with
changes in the Athena environment yourself.  If you want to restore
the default Athena .cshrc file, run:

	mv .cshrc .cshrc.old
	cp /usr/prototype_user/.cshrc .cshrc

on an Athena workstation (Sun, DEC, SGI, or RS6000).

If you want to continue using the non-default .cshrc and have
Framemaker work, you should add to your .cshrc file the following
line from the system cshrc:

	setenv ATHENA_SYS `/bin/athena/machtype -S`

(You can put that line in your .environment for better efficiency if
your .cshrc file reads .environment.)
