In addition to 9iAS R2 being "a terrible install", it is riddled with bugs and a total beast to get operational!

I'll give folks another example.
If/when you HOST out from a 9i Form
your Unix process environment is populated with about 18 environmental variables.
The problem is that NONE of the following are defined; HOME, LOGNAME, PATH! So the poor process doesn't know who he is, which way is "home" and has limited
ability to even find any executable; which make scripting a REAL challenge.

9iAS R2 is a terrible install. A complicated process further confused by poor instructions.

No, installing 9iAS is a 250 mph breeze. One definition of a tornado is "a very strong breeze".

Only if they make installing 9iAs a breeze ... I have heard stories that 9iAS installation is not a picnic ...
