thanks..
Yes, thats where its supposed to be, but its noe,so its a simple enough
file I'll just create it. (In hindsight I should have titled this post
different) I'm more concerned about the inventory pointer and can/if I
should run the orainstroot.sh file again. The relink all command seemed
to go ok, so I guess I'll create a clone db of a production db and have
some clients connect & see what happens...
