=>$ splib=/home/magellan/tjones/lib/splib.a
=>$ cd $joe
=>$ ls $joe
=>$ ar t $splib
=>$ cc args -l$splib
=
=   Okay, now I run my program that refers directly to 'speech' in an 
=OPEN statement.   OOOPS!  wrong directory.

Ok, put the line
joe=/home/orion/jsmith/projectA/speech
on the begining of your program, problem solved!!!
