I'm assuming you got this from the Adus library. Unfortunately,
It appears to be hopelessly out of date.

The /lib/vfmt_streams shared library has been merged into the 
/lib/streams directory since SR9.5 and no longer exists.

This version of Macapollo is compiled with SR9.2 code and probably
uses inlib to load in their own shared library to cause your 9.5 
code "/bin/csh" to dynamically link into some 9.2 or earlier compiled
code at runtime.
    
Unlike most things in the ADUS library the Macapollo donation did
not come with source code so you can't fix/modify the code yourself.
I will let the keepers of ADUS here know that they should either 
obtain a newer version of Macapollo from U. of M. or else remove
this very old version from distribution.  Anyone at U. of M. care
to donate a newer version?

By the way, there is a company called IPT which makes a very nice
Macintosh interconnect product to the Apollo so you can sit at your
Macintosh and open up folder icons that access the Domain file system.
Their phone number is (818)347-7791
