There is a bug in the AT&T Toolchest version of vsh that prevents it from
finding the help files. In help.c, change:
/* get the help file pathname */
if ((s = getenv("TOOLS")) != 0) {
strcpy(pathname, s);
strcat(pathname, "/");
}
strcat(pathname, parm);
to:
/* get the help file pathname */
if ((s = getenv("TOOLS")) != 0) {
strcpy(pathname, s);
strcat(pathname, "/");
strcat(pathname, parm);
}
else {
strcpy(pathname, parm);
}
or, more simply:
/* get the help file pathname */
strcpy(pathname, parm);
The TOOLS code was added for our experimental tools (exptools) version,
unfortunately it added a latent bug for the regular version.
This version of vsh is Dave Scheibelhut's original plus my enhancements.
