- I would like to propose the following extension (not too difficult, but
- I couldn't find all the places to modify):
-
- Allow Xmosaic to read symbolic links as URL's
-
- That is, allow files like the following:
-
- mosaic-docs -> http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu:80/mosaic-docs
- cave.html -> http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/evl/cave/cave.html
-
- This would simplify the storage of bookmarks and allow a user to
- organize their local hierarchy appropriate to the information resources
- that they had identified, e.g. collecting URL's about a specific subject
- or concept area.
-
- I did an initial hack to the code to allow the interpretation of
- symbolic links, but would like to see this extension permeated
- throughout the code (i.e. saving, etc..)
