The software products being brought to you by Silicon Graphics have been authored by many generous individuals and organizations throughout the world. It is through their efforts that these products exist.
Silicon Graphics has repackaged these software products so that they can be easily installed using either inst or SoftwareManager. The software is installed into /usr/freeware to distinguish it from previous versions you may have installed directly from the authors.
The software in this package is considered unsupported by Silicon Graphics. Neither the authors or Silicon Graphics are compelled to help resolve problems you may encounter in the installation, setup, or execution of this software. To be more to the point, if you call us with an issue regarding products in the Freeware package, we'll have to gracefully terminate the call.
For a variety of reasons the authors and/or Silicon Graphics may decide to discontinue one or more of these products. It is more likely, however, that we will all try to bring many more products to you in future Freeware packages.
Each product contains a release note with additional information about the product. We encourage you to review each release note to benefit from as much knowledge as possible. Each release note will also contain a WEB pointer to further information from Silicon Graphics such as known bugs and workarounds.
By default the search path used by your system will not
include the /usr/freeware directories.
We have provided a tool called
fixpath
which can be used
to modify the files in your local environment controlling
these paths.
To use the tool open a shell window and type
/usr/freeware/bin/fixpath.
1.Some of the packages in Version 1.0 were a little
"unpolished". bullet in the ../freeware.html file "qualifications"
description), but otherwise these are the 1.0 bits each bundled
up into a tardist(1)
(tar-encoded software distribution) file with fw_common (a prereq
needed to install any of the freeware packages) included.
_______> ! WARNING ! <_______ Each <Install tardist> link points to a single file that is a tar-encoded software distribution of the given freeware software including the necessary prerequisite fw_commmon product. Accessing these links invokes Tardist(1) which unpacks the tar file encoded distribution, runs SoftwareManager(1M) to allow installation of the distribution, and then gives you the option of deleting the distribution or saving it for future use. Tardist is a new program released in IRIX 6.2 and is available to pre-6.2 DT users via the netscape inst images located in the toolbox/dist/ directory.
you MUST install thenetscape.sw.tardistsubsystem
to be able to access the <Install tardist> links.
