> hardcode your own path and let the next sucker repeat the story I dunno, it would seem to me that the sequence:
-r option? yes: use argument no: $NINEROOT set? yes: use value no: use $HOME/9vx (or somesuch) would be pretty much acceptable. I guess if there is no $HOME (or $home, I don't see much point arguing over that, try both if you feel that way inclined) one can use /usr/rsc or /home/rcs, but that seems a bit outlandish. ++L
