Subject:      Re: 6.12 install problem

The original directions for running both SAS 8 and SAS 6 was to install SAS
6 and THEN SAS 8.  The SAS 8 install appars to recognize that SAS 6 is there
and make some adjustments.

Installing SAS 6 AFTER SAS 8 definitely trashes things.  Been there, done
that.
