Re: PLAT=? .ini variables.

[Will Shackleford <shackle-at-cme.nist.gov>]

I made the mistake of adding one extra check at the last minute and I should
have tested it before sending the mail.

In sh and bash I should use only a single =, unlike csh that uses two  (atleast 
inside if's).

So 

if [ $PLATBASE == "linux" ] ; then

should be 

if [ $PLATBASE = "linux" ] ; then


Attached is that modified generic.run
