Subject:      Re: SAS8 problem - missing library file?

Not sure, only a few ideas, what you should check:
in the properties of the Win-SAS start-icon:
-what is the work-directory? Does it exist?
-you should have a small environment for each user. It must contain a
library (subdirectory) for SASUSER and SASWORK (have a look into the
CONFIG.SAS for 6.12 or - not sure: CONFIG_V8.CFG). These subdirectories
should exist!
-best way, in my opinion:
subdir SAS
subdir SAS\SASUSER\
subdir SAS\WORK\
In the properties of the SAS icon you should use \SAS\ as workdirectory. In
the config-file, the two others are allocated (They MUST exist!).
To make the SAS start faster, you can copy the SAS.EXE to the \SAS\ subdir.
Hope that helps, otherwise provide some more infos: when does that occure
(immedeately after clicking the icon, after a few seconds? Do you see
something from SAS?, Are there any infos about WHICH library is missing?
