Here is the current viewdoc script.
------
#!/bin/sh
MACH=`/bin/athena/machtype`
exec /mit/athenadoc/.${MACH}viewdoc $1
------
This could be significantly improved if the $1 on the last line were
replacd by a /mit/athenadoc/$1. This way, people wouldn't have to "cd
athenadoc" before using the software. If you want
/mit/athenadoc/viewdoc /mit/athenadoc/file.PS
to be a valid syntax, then
------
#!/bin/csh -f
cd /mit/athenadoc
exec .`/bin/athena/machtype`viewdoc $1:t
------
would be better still.

P.S. Who should get mail about the contents of the athenadoc locker?
