On the dialups (and apparently other 8.2 solaris machines) olc_answers
seems to have problems.
(see discussion on -c consult)
The error is:
"No CREF index file in this directory:"
Here's all that olc_answers is:
#!/bin/sh
exec /bin/athena/attachandrun olc-stock olc_browser "$0" "$@"
olc_browser (either location) runs fine, and also runs fine if you give
it random arguments. The problem appears to show up if I give it
anything other than olc_browser as $0, with different breakage showing
if I put olc there. From the truss output looking at olc_browser, it
looks like it cares about /mit/olc-stock/stock_answers/cref_abbrevs.
This file isn't there, and I don't know what should be in it, but I'm
not convinced that it's absence isn't the problem.
Failing that, it would be trivial to modify the olc_answers script to
make $0 olc_browser.
(I failed to find the source, or any documentation for the browser
itself, after a half hearted search, so otherwise, I'm stumped.)
