Re: [nv-l] firefox web navigator for netview (aix 5.3) documentation

[Jane Curry <jane.curry@skills-1st.co.uk>]

Yep - I have this working.
NetView seems to have a hard assumption that /usr/bin/netscape will 
exist.  Here is a cut from one of my documents:
  1.

     The NetView online manuals assume that there is a
     /usr/bin/netscape. The standalone command for the online manuals
     is /usr/OV/service/onlinebookchk (a shellscript). This script
     makes a symlink to /usr/local/bin/mozilla if /usr/bin/netscape
     doesn't exist. To use Firefox, simply delete /usr/bin/netscape and
     put in a new symlink:

        1.

           ln -s /opt/MozillaFirefox/bin/firefox.sh /usr/bin/netscape

        2.

           It is not necessary to set the MOZILLA_HOME environment variable

This assumes that your firefox startup is in 
/opt/MozillaFirefox/bin/firefox.sh.
I have been constructing a document recently on Tivoli on the Linux 
platform (RedHat 7.2 and SuSE 9.1 Professional).  This Firefox thing is 
one of the little funnies I found.  I have put a copy of the document on 
the NetView TUG site - here is the link if anyone is interested.  Note 
that this is definite "Work In Progress" - no guarantees - your mileage 
may vary!
