Transfering filepro to new Unix server

[guy_templin]

JP,

Thanks for the comments. I have no real prefernce as to /usr or /u except 
that on my previous servers /usr contained the users home directories and /u 
contained /appl and other program files. My new server was configured 
with /u containing the users home directories and /usr being used for 
program files.

As for opening files with /appl/filepro/fpcust/key that is filepro programs 
giving that error. I thought that is what the /etc/default/fppath file was 
for to give the correct paths.

Thanks for your advice.

Guy
