if you assing you libs like this:
ASSIGN Libs: SYS:Libs2 SYS:Libs
SYS:Libs2 will be the first path and SYS:Libs the second one. when you do
a "COPY xydf TO Libs:" always the first path is used (iirc). thats how it
works here. so only if you explicitly tell the copy command (or installer
or... to copy to SYS:Libs the files will go there. try it.
byebye...
