Sorry for taking so long to respond to this John, it's been a little hectic here.

I think the way we do things generates a lot of erroneous errors like:
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `install-fr'.  Stop.

This is simply because there are no french documents to install for that section.

But cs-shlib should use bash, (or at least it does now. :D*)  Thanks for alerting us
to this though.  Unfortunately our test machines are somewhat limited with respect to
problems like this.

>     - mksub should use bash, or cs-shlib needs to be cleaned up
Unfortunately, in order to run mksub as bash we'd have to know where it is, which would
mean we'd have to find it, and run 'mksub' on itself.  I'm sure you can see the dilema. :)

Thank you, I've made that change.
