I have NATURAL v. 5.1.1 I’m trying to run the ftouch utility but I’m receiving an environment error. bccdev2:/pgwsag/bccqam11/sag/nat/v51113/bin\> ./ftouch lib=QAM11 convert FTOUCH UTILITY V 5.1.1 Pl 13 Software AG 2003 Not able to find “NATDIR” and/or “NATVERS” environment variable! If you have set the “NATDIR” environment variable, please check that it does not contain invalid or whitespace characters! “NATVERS” should only contain the NATURAL version ---

Did you check your NATDIR/NATVERS variables? ```auto echo $NATDIR echo $NATVERS ``` ---
