Sari Khoury asks:
   Hi, I recently got MacLayers all compiled and installed (I think) on my
   account on an Apollo Unix machine. I've heard  that MacLayers is a real
   nice communications program. But when, I type 'layers' it refuses to run
   on the Apollo. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to set it up
   correctly for an Apollo Unix machine.
   Keep in mind, that I am a Novice Unix user so please speak in easy terms :)
        
        Well... If we are going to help, we need some more information...
(Personally, I have no idea what MacLayers is or what it does...)  So,
what is MacLayers, what is it supposed to do when set up correctly?
When you say it refuses to run, what does that mean, what error messages
do you get.  How did you build the executable, did you use a make
file?  Specifically for the Apollo please give the value of your
SYSTYPE environment variable.

Post some more information and we'll all try and help...

Sincerely,
Philip D. Pokorny
