Hello.
I think the following refers to the lack of ghostview for sgi_63 in
the gnu locker (or are the prefs. supposed to point to something else
on the O2 than /mit/gnu/bin/ghostview?):
athena% ls -l /mit/gnu/arch/sgi_63/bin/gh*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 7722 mit 12 Aug 12 14:11 /mit/gnu/arch/sgi_63/bin/ghead -> ../gbin/head*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 7722 mit 16 Aug 12 14:11 /mit/gnu/arch/sgi_63/bin/ghostname -> ../gbin/hostname*
athena% ls -l /mit/gnu/arch/sgi_62/bin/gh*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 7722 mit 12 Aug 12 14:14 /mit/gnu/arch/sgi_62/bin/ghead -> ../gbin/head*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 7722 mit 16 Aug 12 14:14 /mit/gnu/arch/sgi_62/bin/ghostname -> ../gbin/hostname*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 7722 mit 17 Aug 12 14:14 /mit/gnu/arch/sgi_62/bin/ghostview -> ../gbin/ghostview*

Subject: bad default for netscape helper app
when i try to view a postscript document
http://graphics.lcs.mit.edu/classes/6.837/F97/lectures/L01_04sep97_Intr
oduction,Bresenham.ps
i get an error: ghostscript not found.
i can fix this myself -- by changing the helper app
to xpsview -- but it seems that either netscape
should point to something that exists, or ghostscript
should be installed, or both.
best,
seth
