Using a Browser in SIPE-2

The Browser display has only been tested on Netsape running on Sparc computers. Assumptions about browser:

will accept "-remote" "-display" switches in command line, and any in *BROWSER-OPTIONS*
will accept URLs in command line on initial startup
will accept URL wrapped in openURL() with -remote switch.

These variables should be set to customize your local browser image. You can create a patch file in sipe/released/patches/ to set them for your site:

(defvar *BROWSER-IMAGE* "netscape" "shell command to run browser that accepts URL on command line")

(defvar *BROWSER-OPTIONS* "-install" "options added after URL on command line when starting browser")
