Just figured out :) I looked into the source code and found out that it only looks at the current directory and tries to open the file in read/write mode. Since the book was installed into a system directory, the program was neither able to access it, nor open it in read/write mode. I guess the authors intended each user to be have a local copy (learning perhaps?). >I don't know about the licensing on Phalanx, but that's a great program, very >slick program.
