Original question:
> Sorry to occupy bandwidth for this but I'm trying to run AnswerBook

> _OW_GC_KEY". The only way to make it run is to change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> from the OW 3 to the OW 2-one (/usr/openwin2/lib instead of /usr/openwin3/
> lib).
> I received only media and no manuals of OW3, and AnswerBook gives no
> information about _OW_GC_KEY.
> System is SS2 with SunOS 4.1.2.

> I'll appreciate any comments.
> Thanks

The answer is that there are two versions of navigator, for OW2 and OW3
respectively. They are located under $ANSWERBOOK/bin and there's a script
to recognize which OW version is running, in order to call the appropriate
version of navigator (as the AnswerBook manual says which I have neither!)

:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Navigator wrapper script.
# Selects appropriate navigator binary depending on
# whether we're running OW2 or OW3.
#
if [ -f ${OPENWINHOME:-/XXX}/lib/libxview.so.3.1 ]
then
NAVIGATOR=.navigator.ow3
else
NAVIGATOR=.navigator.ow2
fi
exec $NAVIGATOR $*
exit $?
