Installation of work around for Netscape ======================================== (C) 1996, 1997 by Theofilu Andreas (Theos Soft) 1.0 What does this package contain? 2.0 How to install it? 3.0 About naming the files. 4.0 Appendix 1.0 What does this package contain? This package contains the two needed libraries to fix the Netscape bug and a script to call Netscape with the needed libraries. 2.0 How to install it? Installation is very simple. Log in to your machine as 'root' and copy this package to the root directory (/). Then execute the following command: tar -zxf nets-2.0.tar.gz This command creates all necessary directories and puts all files where they belong to. That's it! Now you and every user on your system can start Netscape with the command 'nets'. This is a shell script in '/usr/local/bin'. This script is made for starting Netscape Communicator 4.0bx. It assumes that you've installed Netscape in the directory '/opt/netscape'. If this is not the case, please alter the paths in the script appropriatley. 3.0 About naming the files. At least the names for directories and the shell script here are only examples. If, for example, you don't wan't your users use a new command for calling Netscape, you can name the shell script 'netscape' and the executable something else (netscape-bin). The needed libraries should go to /usr/local/lib/netscape. If you don't want them to be there, you can put them elsewhere. Don't forget to change the shell script if you do so. 4.0 Appendix I have a WEB page where you can find additional information depending on Netscape. Look at: http://members.ping.at/theofilu/netscape.html On this page you will also find a link to this package. If english is not what you understand, you will also find the same page in german. Sorry, I'm not able to support other languages, because I don't know them. If you have suggestions or questions, please send an email to: theofilu@ping.at. Flames and comercials go directly to /dev/null.
