Yes, Wes put some items into lower level subdirectories.

The default was /var/max.  If you are using /home/max and find something
still point to /var/max, let us know.  [The install script will need to be
tweeked....]

/var/max/bin is for the binaries.
/var/max/etc will have most of the control files
so from /var/max (/home/max in your case), 'bin/silt etc/max' and similar
things should work.....

 JK> Probably some of them were redundant, but /home/max/ 
 JK> didn't work.. weird..I ran silt max -x, and then the

from /home/max try 'bin/silt etc/max -x'.....

I've seen a report or two of some fixes needed to that file.... Search the
old echo messages if you need to,....

 JK> heh.. that should be neat

 JK> should be able to do that..
