Well - I added /usr/local/bin to the path, an 'setenv'd the editor to

I don't think I've got any more recent sets...I've got ones on the Datafile
PD CD 4 (which is older than the RiscDisc), oh - and the Clan Aug '97 CD.
Is it possible to install the RedHat sets onto RiscBSD and still have them
working? It it worth trying?
