Argh! I have to ask you one more question (Sorry!!! I have to get this right 
or I'll be filling in my P45 tomorrow!) I've just realised after doing the 
make dest, I don't have any binaries called v3fshelper or any of the other 
binaries that appear under /sbin/helpers. Also do I need to worry about 
installing the lib files e.g. libbos.a?
Just to confirm, after doing a make dest, I just do 'cp 
openafs-1.2.11/rs_aix42/dest/bin /usr/local/bin' ?
