As I build more and more public domain software and file out /usr/local more and more the guild get greater and greater. Where do most people put software like emacs .el files? I built /usr/local/emacs/lisp out of habbit. How about public domain filters - they are not aplications so /LocalApps seemed wrong so I shove them in /usr/local/bin. Is they a standard "Tao of NeXT" way to deal these? Or are people winging it like me? -- \n Nicholas Christopher (212) 464-3837 Internet: nwc@sisyphus.shearson.com UUCP: ...!uunet!slcpi!galileo!ronin!nwc

I build a copy of /usr under /usr/local thus I have a /usr/local/bin /usr/local/src /usr/local/lib /usr/local/include /usr/local/man /usr/local/etc etc. For some of these things to work you have to add things to your path, libpath and manpath environment variables. But it seems the cleanest way to me. Of course I have for NeXT specific stuff (i.e. NextStep interfaced things) also a /LocalLibrary, /LocalApps, /LocalAdmin, /LocalDeveloper and their respective subdirectories.
