(Note I have never used Datcom but I can't see > why one would need to be root to install > it.) Oh and another question: Does Datcom work on non-x86 systems? Well, I guess I hadn't thought of it. I am the only one on my Linux system, so I naturally just install it there. My past experience having multiple users on a system has me installing it in /usr/local/bin, so that everyone could use it, since I was the system adminitrator. I guess I was hoping that those people would be smart enough to install it somewhere in their path if they didn't have root access. If you untar the executables with tar xvpzf datcom_bin.tz You end up with a directory tree of /usr/local/bin under your current directory, and then you can copy those files to whereever you need to to be able to see them. I'll consider changing it for the next release. Thanks. Datcom and related programs are compiled only for x86 systems, sorry!
