Yes, it's definitely different. No matter what you say when installing,
`applix' is:
#!/bin/sh
APPLIX_HOME="/usr/local/applix"
export APPLIX_HOME
exec $APPLIX_HOME/applix "$@"
Note the hard-coded APPLIX_HOME. There were other problems trying to
install somewhere else, but I'm afraid I don't remember details. I played
with it for a little while, but gave up and left it in /usr/local :(.
