  I recently posted an article about trying to coerce setld to put the f77
  distribution in a more useful place than the default. The default is to
  put everything in a tree with / as the root.

  I got a few replies to the effect:

	setld [dir] -a ....

  "does what you want." 

  I failed to mention I am running Ultrix 4.0, and I had tried something
  like

	setld [-D dir] ....

  But all that did was change the root to "dir" (in my case /usr/local) and
  so instead of everything ending up in /usr/{blah blah} it ended up in
  /usr/local/usr/{blah blah} which is not the desired result. It looks like
  I'd have to make symbolic links to everything in /usr/local/usr!

  The effect I am searching for is to put everything in /usr/local/{blah blah}
  rather than /usr/{blah blah} or /usr/local/usr/{blah blah} AND have the
  added benefit of it being able to run from there.

  Thanks to those who replied, and sorry of it turns out I merely misunderstood
  your messages.
