src/writecabrillo.c:     system("cat cabrillo >> header");
src/writecabrillo.c:     system("cp header cabrillo");

So you need a working 'sh', 'cat' and 'cp' command. Grepping for comstr
also reveals 'less' is called. The editor to use is set in logcfg.dat
(either joe, vi or e3). System is not a command, it's a c-library call.
