I think you mean "/usr/andrew"; AFAIK only things/people who explicitly
wanted prerelease software used /usr/andy. I also don't know what AIX
has to do with it - Transarc's documentation has been recommending the
use of /usr/afsws for many years. Personally, I think that's silly;
AFS programs should be someplace like /usr/local, not in yet another
directory that people have to add to their path.
I've also seen people insist on looking for programs in /usr/vice/bin,
though I know of no precedent for putting them there...
