Environment variables: epic4-1.1.7, Debian 3.0, x86.
Bug (At compiler time):
When attempting to install helpfiles (hey, I was curious at the changes
with bind(8) because of the keys.c big rewrite), helpfiles do not exist,
so line 185 of epic4-1.1.7/Makefile is excutied incorrectly, copying the
contents of epic4-1.1.7/ (including subdirectories) to
/usr/local/share/epic/help.
Evidence:

Workaround:
1) Use (well, test) patch supplied. Will exit ``make installhelp''
gracefully.
2) Hash out line 185 in epic4-1.1.7/Makefile
3) Remove option altogether until helpfiles can be written
4) Supply help files
Versions effected:
I'd assume it effects versions EPIC4pre1.034 and above, but I've only
looked at the source in EPIC4-1.1.4+.
Thanks,
Steven
