NEED URGENT HELP

Hello,
I need from anyone with old school FilePro knowledge.
I need to restore an old installation of FilePro Plus
version 4. It is on SCO UNIX Release 3.2v4.0y. I know
this is very old, but all company files from 1992 on
are in this program, and replacement at this point is
not an option. I need to get this restored as soon as
possible. I have been working on it for three days.
My problem is FilePro itself. I have 5 discs (the blue
ones from back when FilePro was from The Small
Computer Company). In UNIX, I used the sysadmsh
utility to untar the contents of the discs, which puts
the files in /appl/fp. It also puts some files in
/tmp. I also have the last backup the company made,
and those files are untarred to /appl/filepro.
It is at this point that I am lost. Running "p"
doesn't do anything. I have to run "./p" to get into
FilePro, but it doesn't recognize the files in
/appl/filepro. I get errors when I try to run the name
of the company menu (e.g. ./p ndsmenu)
It says "****System Error Occurred ****"
"Cannot access menu"
"/appl/fp/menus/ndsmenu": No such file or directory
I am lost at this point. The files I need to use are
stored in /appl/filepro. My /etc/default/fppath file
has three lines in it:
/appl
/appl
Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I don't
think I have installed FilePro Plus correctly. I need
help.
