I like this idea a lot.
But when my SGI updated itself, I found a few parts that didn't
work the way I expected. (I've enclosed a patch for the script
/etc/athena/local-netscape.)
Oddities:
I don't have a /usr/athena/bin/htmlview, but it may be a
good idea to give me one. I have a /usr/athena/bin/netscape.sh
instead of "netscape" (note the suffix).
When /etc/athena/local-netscape prepares to synctree the
infoagents locker to local disk, the script has a few typos.
One is a complaint about "cat"ing a file that doesn't exist:
Cannot open /mit/infoagents/.syncversion: No such file or directory
/etc/athena/local-netscape[37]: test: argument expected
The other is that the .rconf file doesn't pull in the
arch/share/bin directory of infoagents. I've made a guess
as to what the .rconf file wanted to do, and included it in
this patch:
